UBC Mathematics: MathNet FAQ [Personal Web Page]
UBC Mathematics: MathNet FAQ [Personal Web Page]
Question: I want a personal web page. What do I need to do to set one up?
Author: Joseph Tam
Date: Aug 27, 2008
Unlike other sites, you cannot create your own web directory (typically
a folder named "public_html") in your home directory. Instead, you
must make a request to the IT staff to create a web directory for you.
The web directory will be created outside your home directory so that your private
files are not mixed up with your public files. Your web directory will
be placed in
Unix pathname |
/nfs/HomeWeb/username |
Public Windows Folder |
Desktop -> MathNet -> Web |
Windows (Samba) UNC |
\\samba\HomeWeb |
where username is your account name. Your web directory is
mapped to the URL
https://personal.math.ubc.ca/~username/
If you use a file transfer application (e.g. sftp) to populate files,
take special care to set the file permissions correctly. For more
information on this topic, see the FAQ item.
Some of my web pages can't be viewed. How do I fix this?
You may also want to link your page to your name listed in the
Department's public Personnel
Directory. To do this, you'll have to update your profile by
logging in to the MathNet User
Services site.
