How do I set up a personal World Wide Web (WWW) home page?
In your home directory create a subdirectory named public_html. Only files stored under that directory are accessible via the ~ operator from the Web. In your public_html directory create a file called index.html. This will be your home page, accessible via the ~ operator. For example, if user foo sets up such a file structure his home page file, ~foo/public_html/index.html, will be accessible via the URL, http://www.cs.colostate.edu/~foo. You may also store other files under your public_html directory and reference them from your home page, or directly via a WWW URL. For example, the file ~foo/public_html/bar.html will be accessible via the URL, http://www.cs.colostate.edu/~foo/bar.html. Your public_html directory must have permissions set to 755. Any html file which you want to be diplayed must have permissions set to 644.
