Web Services

The ODU CS Department provides faculty and students the ability to host web pages from their CS Unix Account.

Users interact with this system through two main components, the ~/secure_html directory and the command line tool webcli

Basic Usage

• Initial setup

1. SSH into the department's Linux servers (linux-new.cs.odu.edu)
2. Create the ~/secure_html directory with the following commands:
   
   mkdir ~/secure_html
   chmod o+rx ~/secure_html
   
   This will create a directory at /home/<username>/secure_html and give read and directory listing permissions to other user set.
