WWW materials on mi-linux
The apache web server on mi-linux serves both staff and student pages, however staff pages should ideally be accessed via www.scit.wlv.ac.uk (scitua) - the scitua server is the home of staff materials and school facilities - all student files, services, and facilities are now provided via mi-linux.
SSH - Secure Shell
In order to publish student websites, a student must login to mi-linux.wlv.ac.uk using an SSH client. SSH client software can be found pre-installed on most linux desktop computers. PuTTY is a free SSH client for Microsoft Windows operating systems and can be downloaded from http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/
HOW TO
1. SSH to mi-linux.wlv.ac.uk using your university account and password
2. Confirm the existence of (or create) a "public_html" directory
ls public_html
if no files/directories found
mkdir public_html
3. Confirm or change the access permissions of this directory so that it is world-readable, but not world-writable
chmod 755 public_html
4. Upload (see (S)FTP notes) materials to be served via the WWW to the public_html directory
5. Your website address is http://mi-linux.wlv.ac.uk/~yourAccount
(where yourAccount is your university user name - example, if your username is 9876543 your website address is http://mi-linux.wlv.ac.uk/~9876543)
