Publishing a Web Page on Scotland

Let's say I want to create a page in my cs169-ta directory; this could just as well be one of your individual accounts or your group account.

1) First, create a directory for your page inside the account directory. Let's call it "www"

2) Now you need to make sure the files in it are publicly readable.
a) Right-click on the "www" directory and select "Permissions"
b) Select the "Security" panel
c) Click the "Permissions" button
d) In the permissions dialog, click "Add.." to add a new user
e) Click on the "Show Users" button to get a list of individual
users who can be added.
f) Select "IUSR_SCOTLAND" from the list. This is the generic
scotland web user used whenever the http server on scotland
tries to open a page.
g) Make sure the type of access popup is set to "Read"
h) Click "Add" to add the guest account
i) Click "OK", then "OK" again , and "OK" once more.

3) Create a the web page in the "www" directory. You can call it "default.htm" so that it will be loaded automatically when the user enters the path to the directory. I called mine "home.htm".

4) Now, to test it out, go to the page:

"http://scotland.cs.berkeley.edu/cs169/cs169-ta/www/home.htm"

which will load the "home.htm" file from my www directory.
