Home Pages
Usage Policy
There are a few things that you can't put up on your webpage:
- Any assignments or material from classes that you have taken or
are taking that could be used by another student to cheat.
- Any copyrighted material. This is a good way to get hunted down
by a large corporation with lots of lawyers.
- Anything so objectionable that it would require therapy for
someone to recover from were they to stumble upon your site.
- Anything that makes anyone any money. (No banner adds, for
example...)
*NOTE:* Password protecting the material above doesn't
bypass these guidelines; the material is still publically available in
your public_html directory in your home directory.
If there is a violation, the CSE Technical Staff will either inform
you of it and ask you to take it down, or disable the account pending
further notification depending on the magnitude of the violation.
Creating a Home Page
- Create a directory in your home directory under Linux (ONLY
if a public_html folder doesn't already exist in your home
directory):
cd && mkdir public_html
Change into your public_html directory:
cd ~/public_html
Create a file in this directory called index.html
Change the permissions on your files to allow other people to
view them:
chmod 711 ~
chmod 711 ~/public_html
chmod 644 ~/public_html/*
That's it! You can now access your home page by pointing your Web
browser to http://www.cs.ucr.edu/~login/ where login is your login name.
