Activate your UD web space
This class exercise is required to publish and share the web pages you will develop during this course. The University of Delaware's web server is called "copland" and its full address is copland.udel.edu.
Open the Terminal program in the Applications folder and type:
ssh username@udel.edu
using your own UDelNet ID in place of "username" in the above statement. Press Enter/Return.
Type your UDelNet ID password and press Return. You are now logged into the copland.udel.edu web server.
Even if you have already activated your web space on a previous occasion, continue following these steps so that file and folder permissions are set properly.
At the copland.udel.edu% prompt, run the following script:
source /www/htdocs/learn/usered/html-setup
Copy and paste the above command. This command is case sensitive and there is a single space between source and /www. Press Enter/Return.
Create a web directory for the work you will be doing in this course.
Make a directory called "art307" for this course, type:
mkdir public_html/art307
Copy and paste the above command. This command is case sensitive and there is an underscore between public and html. Press Enter/Return.
At the copland.udel.edu% prompt, type:
exit
That's it for the UNIX oeprating system this semester!
You have just activated your personal web space on copland, the University of Delaware's web server, and have created a web directory called public_html.
You now have an active web address with a specific folder for this course, which you can browse to:
http://udel.edu/~username/art307
Remember the above web address for checking your web site throughout the course. It's important to note that there is no "www" in the address.
When you are finished with this exercise, create a post at your wordpress blog and indicate the address of your web site for this course.
