Student Web Sites

Posting Your Home Page

To post a personal home page, create a directory called www in your home directory and place files you want to be visible on the web in that directory. Make sure that your home page is named index.htm (or index.html) or the server won't see that you have a home page there.

After you post your home page, you can connect to it from any web browser by typing in the following address:

http://student.vwc.edu/~username/

Note that the web address begins with "student", and not "www". Your username is the same as your network login name.

Technical Stuff

This web server is running Apache with PHP scripting support. Directory indexing is off by default.

You can control access to your web directory though an .htaccess file. You may override the default AuthConfig, FileInfo, Indexes and Limit options.
