Information About WWW Services

Available Servers

There are two webservers available for use:

www.cs.fsu.edu (websrv)
- www.cs.fsu.edu is the main www server for the department. Websrv is available for virtual domain hosting and for professor's web sites. It is not available for graduate, majors, or non-major students.
ww2.cs.fsu.edu (ww2)
- Ww2 is available for use by graduates and majors of the Computer Science students. Non-majors will be granted an account only if their class requires one.
iwebsrv.cs.fsu.edu (iwebsrv)
- iwebsrv is available for use by graduates and faculty as needed. iwebsrv is the department's experimental web server.

All servers are running Apache and offer CGI support and PERL. By default, on both servers, all *.cgi files are parsed as CGI files.

Activating Your WWW Account

WWW Accounts are not created automatically when your Computer Science account is created. For security reasons, the web servers are kept seperate from the normal network. To activate your account submit a Helpdesk ticket requesting a www account, please include your Computer Science username.

Your new account will have the same username/password as your current Computer Science account, however, it is advised that you change your www server account password as soon as possible.

To change your password, type passwd at the command prompt when you are logged into your respective web server.

Accessing Your WWW Account

Faculty members should ssh to websrv.cs.fsu.edu. Faculty websites are accessed with the URL http://www.cs.fsu.edu/~username.

Majors, graduates and class accounts should ssh to ww2.cs.fsu.edu. These websites are accessed with the URL http://ww2.cs.fsu.edu/~username

Please note, only files listed in the ~username/public_html directory are accessable. The directory ~username/public_html becomes the URL http://(www or ww2).cs.fsu.edu/~username. As with most web servers, the files index.html is configured to be the default file displayed in a directory if no file is specified.

Configuring Your WWW Account

After your account has been created by the Systems Group, follow the below steps:

Create a directory called "public_html" in your websrv home directory, with the command
```
mkdir ~/public_html
```
Create your HTML home page inside public_html and call it "index.html". Use the command
```
pico ~/public_html/index.html
```
Make sure permissions are set correctly with the following commands:
```
 % chmod 0711 ~/public_html
 % chmod 711 ~
```
Make sure all files are world readable. To make a file world readable type the command:
```
% chmod 0744 
```
