Creating Faculty Web Pages
In these instructions, replace "hedonley" with your own username. Your main page,
http://www.math.iup.edu/people/hedonley.html is at /web/people/hedonley.html.
Any other pages that you create will be in your personal directory,
/export/home/hedonley/public_html/.
Your Main Page
URL: http://www.math.iup.edu/people/hedonley.html
Unix Location: /web/people/hedonley.html
You must have an account on babbage.nsm.iup.edu to modify your main page.
If you do not have an account, request one from Tom Kirkpatrick at
tckirk@iup.edu. You must also be the owner
of your main page. After you have an account on babbage.nsm.iup.edu, ask Ed
Donley at hedonley@iup.edu to make you
the owner of your main Web page.
Modifying your main page:
Method 1: Direct editing
- Telnet to babbage.nsm.iup.edu, or equivalently www.math.iup.edu.
- Edit the page directly using pico (which is the text editor that comes
with the pine mail program) or vi text editor.
$ pico /web/people/hedonley.html
Method 2: Editing with a desktop computer application
- Telnet to babbage.nsm.iup.edu, or equivalently www.math.iup.edu.
- Copy the file to your home directory using the Unix cp command.
$ cp -p /web/people/hedonley.html /export/home/hedonley
- Map the network drive \\babbage\hedonley to your desktop computer. Right
click on the "My Computer" icon on your desktop. Select "Map Network
Drive...". A dialog box will appear. Select any drive letter that is not
currently being used, for example, Z:. Enter \\babbage\hedonley in the
Folder box. Check the "Reconnect at logon" checkbox if you want to skip
this step in the future.
- The Z: drive should now contain hedonley.html. Edit the file using an
application on your desktop computer, such as Dreamweaver or Notepad.
- In your telnet window, copy the modified file from your home directory to
/web/people/hedonley.html.
$ cp -p /export/home/hedonley/hedonley.html /web/people
Your Auxiliary Pages
URL: http://www.math.iup.edu/~hedonley/filename.html
Unix Location: /export/home/hedonley/public_html/filename.html
Modifying your auxiliary pages:
- If you do not already have a public_html directory within your home directory, you must create one and give others read access to it. Telnet to babbage.nsm.iup.edu, or equivalently www.math.iup.edu. Then type the following Unix commands:
$ mkdir /export/home/hedonley/public_html
$ chmod 711 /export/home/hedonley
$ chmod 755 /export/home/hedonley/public_html
- Map the network drive \\babbage\hedonley to your desktop computer. If you are using
Windows, right click on the "My Computer" icon on your desktop. Select "Map
Network Drive...". A dialog box will appear. Select any drive letter that
is not currently being used, for example, Z:. Enter \\babbage\hedonley in
the Folder box. Check the "Reconnect at logon" checkbox if you want to skip
this step in the future.
- The Z: drive should contain your public_html folder. Create files and
folders as if they were on your desktop computer. Create and modify files
using an application on your desktop computer, such as Dreamweaver or
Notepad. The changes that you make will actually be on babbage.nsm.iup.edu, even though it appears that you are making changes to files and folders on your desktop computer.
Special Projects
If you are involved in a project that should be affiliated more with an organization
(including IUP) than with you, such as multi-investigator grants or hosting conferences and workshops,
then contact Ed Donley to create a directory
for you in the department Web site's main directory. This will be located at
URL Location: http://www.math.iup.edu/projectname/
Unix: /web/projectname
where "projectname" is replace by a short name representing your
project. Ed Donley will make you the owner of this directory so that you can
place your project's Web pages there.
