Web page account setup and access for University of Wisconsin-- Milwaukee students ------------------------------------------------------------ How to SETUP your Web page (you just need to do this once). (See instructions below for further access and updates.) ============================================================ Here is how students can set up their UWM accounts for Web pages. To generate a personal Web space on a student alpha account, you need to: 1) Log in to your student account. You can do this by entering the URL, where X is the first letter of your login name, telnet://alphaX.csd.uwm.edu in the Address box of a Web browser. 2) When the telnet client comes up, enter your user id and password; wait patiently; press return to accept the prompt when told "Terminal recognized..." then you should get a numbered menu; 3) In the menu, choose QUIT option to suspend the menu and go to Unix. (option 62) Hit return when asked if you really want to continue. 4) At the Unix command prompt type (and hit return after typing it): clear If this clear command does not cause your screen to clear and just show the Unix prompt, enter this command (and hit return): set term = vt100 5) At the Unix command prompt type (and hit return after typing it): wwwsetup 6) You will be presented with a menu of options, one of which tells the machine to create Web space for you. Choose that option. (option 1) 7) That's it. 8) You will receive email messages from I&MT telling you about the Web page you just created and what acceptable use is for your pages. 9) You will find a link in your alpha account home directory called "www" which will take you to a directory on the Web server containing your files. 10) The wwwsetup script creates two things: a directory with your user name on the Web server, and an index.html file. ------------------------------------------------------------ ACCESS--how to access your Web page to change and update it. ============================================================ 1) Log in to your student account. You can do this by entering the URL, where X is the first letter of your login name, telnet://alphaX.csd.uwm.edu in the Address box of a Web browser. 2) When the telnet client comes up, enter your user id and password; wait patiently; press return to accept the prompt when told "Terminal recognized..." then you should get a numbered menu; 3) In the menu, choose QUIT option to suspend the menu and go to Unix. (option 62) Hit return when asked if you really want to continue. 4) At the Unix command prompt type (and hit return after typing it): clear If this clear command does not cause your screen to clear and just show the Unix prompt, enter this command (and hit return): set term = vt100 5) At the Unix prompt, change to your www directory (and hit return after typing it): cd www 6) You can now edit your index.html file using the vi editor. To learn the vi editor, see http://www.december.com/unix/ref/vi.html Edit your index.html file like this (and hit return after typing it): vi index.html If the vi editor session only shows your file line-by-line (line mode), or if the vi editor seems to act "funny," exit the vi editor (command mode, then SHIFT/ZZ), then at the Unix prompt, try this command (and hit return): set term = vt100
