ARCH1 WEB PAGE PUBLISHING INSTRUCTIONS
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
IMPORTANT: These instructions were written on a Windows
XP workstation, running Internet Explorer.
Other OS/browser combinations may result in different icons or window appearance
styles. Mac users can perform analogues
of steps 2 and 4-6 natively; steps 1 and 3 must be performed from a Windows
workstation (or inside of a Windows shell) with the Novell client installed. Lab machines are fine, as are studio
workstations.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
To create a web page of your own, visible to all on the web to see, using your Novell home directory as the host, simply follow these instructions:
1) Login to Novell.
2) Open your home directory (commonly known as your “G drive”). Create a folder called PUBLIC_HTML.
3) For the folder PUBLIC_HTML, grant RF rights to [Public] as follow:
a. Right-click the folder, and choose “Trustee Rights…”
b. Scroll up the list on the bottom of the “Novell Services” window, and choose [Public]
c. [Public] should now appear in the top area of the “Novell Services” window with R and F (Read and Filescan) access. Click “Close”.
4) Create a file in the PUBLIC_HTML folder called INDEX.HTML as follow:
a. Open the PUBLIC_HTML folder and right-click in the middle of the pane and choose “New”, then “Text document”.
b. Name the file INDEX.HTML.
5) INDEX.HTML is your homepage; you will edit it as you wish (instructions on how to code an HTML page are beyond the scope of this instruction set). To create a sample page (and to test that what you have done works properly), do the following:
a. Right-click INDEX.HTML, and choose “Open with”. Choose Notepad.
b. Type a sample line of text, and choose File, Exit. Click Yes to confirm the save.
6) To view your new personal web page, open a web browser and point it to your new personal URL:
http://arch1.ced.berkeley.edu/~[your username here, without brackets]
(Only the files and folders in the PUBLIC_HTML folder are visible to the public; folders and files above them [hierarchically speaking] are not visible.)
Please remember that the
University’s regulations apply, as far as copyright protection and computing
use standards – don’t run afoul of them.
If you have any questions about these regulations, please contact a
member of the Department computing staff and we can discuss it further.
If you run into problems, or if
you find mistakes in this documentation, or are simply unable to make it work,
please e-mail andres[at]
