Creating a Home Page

At CMU, it's easy. Just put your information in AFS and make it publicly readable.

Get an AFS account

	echo Please give me an AFS account | mail -s "AFS account" help@cs

Create a top-level www directory

	mkdir /afs/cs/usr/MYNAME/www

Copy a friend's home page, generate one using a tutorial, or use your favorite editor to start from scratch.

	cp /afs/cs/usr/mdwheel/www/mdw.html /afs/cs/usr/MYNAME/home.html

Give it a simple name, you'll get tired of typing it

	home.html  or  index.html

Make it readable to AFS users

	fs sa /afs/cs/usr/MYNAME system:anyuser l	[or rl]
	fs sa /afs/cs/usr/MYNAME/www system:anyuser rl

	cat > /afs/cs/usr/MYNAME/www/.htaccess <<END
	<Limit GET>
	order deny,allow
	allow from all
	</Limit>
END

	echo www/home.html > /afs/cs/usr/MYNAME/.www.home.url
