How to Setup a Personal Website

Setting up a personal website in your network storage space.

With any NE departmental computer account each user can set up their own personal website as long as it adheres to the network policies outlined on the Nuclear Engineering website. These policies can be found here.

After reviewing these policies the user is ready to begin developing their own website.

Each website will be created with the standard URL of 'http://nuclear.tamu.edu/~username' where 'username' is the user's NE username.

Create a folder called 'www' on your 'H' drive.

Do this by clicking 'File', 'New' and 'Folder'.

Your 'H' drive is your home space on the file server 'emc'.
Open it by clicking 'My Computer' and 'H:'.

After creating the folder the following path should exist: '\\emc.ne.tamu.edu\home\username\www' (where username is your NE username).

Build your website into this directory.

After creating the 'www' folder it may be necessary to set the permissions of said folder. If you can not see the web site that you have created then log into one of the Unix servers such as oak using putty. Once logged on successfully use the following command to change the permissions: 'chmod o+x /home/username' (where username is your NE username). This will allow your webspace to be viewed.
