Read this blog for an alternative solution to create a personal homepage with corporate design. If you instead want a personal homepage with “full control”, read below.
General information
The URL (address) of your homepage is/will be the following:
https://people.math.ethz.ch/~username
The main file that you need has to be called index.html. You will probably have some more files like images, CSS-files, PDF-files, etc. You have to put all these files in your www-folder on the server.
An example of an index.html file is the following:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<meta charset="UTF-8">
<title>Title of the document</title>
</head>
<body>
Content of the document.
</body>
</html>
Accessing the www-folder
You find the www-folder in your network-home. Here you find how to access your files on the server.
File permissions
Set the file and directory permissions as follows:
| Type | Owner | Group | Other | Command |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| file | rw | r | r | chmod 644 filename |
| directory | rwx | x | x | chmod 711 dirname |
Example (in a terminal):
username@midget% cd ~/www
username@midget% ls -ld *
-rw-------. 1 username others 298 Apr 11 12:16 index.html
drwx------. 2 username others 512 Apr 11 12:16 papers
username@midget% chmod 644 index.html
username@midget% chmod 711 papers
username@midget% ls -ld *
-rw-r--r--. 1 username others 298 Apr 11 12:16 index.html
drwx--x--x. 2 username others 512 Apr 11 12:16 papers
