REGISTRATION OF USER WEB PAGES

GUIDE

Students and staff at the Department of Chemistry who want to offer their own web pages should read the following instructions. The strategy for the operating system Unix is described.

Create a folder called public_html in your home directory, pay attention to the correct spelling with lower-case letters.
```
> mkdir public_html
> ls
> public_html/
```
This folder contains all html files and other folders, if necessary.
For appearance of your name in the automatically generated list of User Web Pages and for being searchable at the Search for Chemnet Users with Web Pages you'll have to create a file named index.html in this folder which should not be empty.
Attention: Don't use umlauts, but the alternative spelling ae, oe, ue, etc. instead. The best way is to use character entities in HTML code - see the charset iso8859-1 table.
The home directory ($HOME or ~) and the folder public_html with all files and sub-folders must have correct access permissions. In particular, all folders must be executable for "others". The permissions for the folder can be changed with the command chmod:
```
> chmod o+x ~
> chmod 755 public_html
```
Now the access permissions of all HTML files must be changed:
```
> chmod 754 public_html/*
```

If you find the whole procedure too complicated, simply use the command homepage.
