We want to connect securely to the csci491-01 virtual server. Type:

ssh username@csci491-01.cs.montana.edu

hostname: csci491-01.cs.montana.edu
username: YOUR-NETID
password: YOUR-NETID-PASSWD


Setup directions from Scott:

You should be able to bring up the website for the system by browsing to:
http://csci491-01.cs.montana.edu

Students can login with their netid and netid passwords.  When they login the first time, it will create a home directory for them named after their netid under /home.  Example: /home/b22r163 is my home directory.  I also have a local account named dowdle.

Users can nave their own websites by doing the following:

1) Once they are logged in (and the system has created a homedir for them named after their netid), they can chmod their homedir to 711 (example: chmod 711 ~) .  The default permissions on their homedirs is 700 which isn't permissive enough for apache to see their web content

2) They need to create a director named public_html and put some content files inside.  By default, acceptable index page names are index.html and index.php.  The filesystem is case sensitive so I recommend using lowercase letters for all file/dir names without any special characters nor whitespace.  While you definitely can have special chars, camel case letters, and whitespace in file/dir names, keeping it simple just leaves less room for human error in HTML references.
