Personal Webspace |
USING PERSONAL WEBSPACE AT CLEMSON Oracle Linux 8 (OL8), Apache/2.4.37, PHP 8.2 Users can have a personal webspace while at Clemson. See instructions below to request one, access it, or maintain it. Note that the URL will contain your Clemson username and will be: https://username.people.clemson.edu
REQUESTING PERSONAL WEBSPACE If you want a Clemson personal web page, then you will be required to request access at the following link: Note: if you already have a personal webspace at Clemson, proceed below to learn more about how to access it.
If you have MacOS, please. follow these instructions:
FILES THAT CONTROL ACCESS TO YOUR SITE When you open the drive you mapped to people.zfs.clemson.edu, you will find a folder that matches your username. You should create an index.php, index.html, or index.htm file in that folder. Then viewers will land on your website by using the URL https://username.people.clemson.edu (where username is replaced with your user name). If you do not have an index file, users will get an "Unauthorized Access" error when they use your URL. In this example, we have logged in to \\people.zfs.clemson.edu as U:. We navigated to the top level folder that matched the username - laurie. In that folder there is a file index.html. So if someone opens the URL https://people.laurie.clemson.edu, it will open the file index.html from this folder.
In this case, the folder laurie has a subfolder CPSC120 and we have opened that. Since it has an index.html too - opening the URL https://people.laurie.clemson.edu/cpsc120 would open the index.html file in this folder. If you want to point a user to a file other than index.html in this folder, just add the name of the file you want them to open to the URL (if it's a file that can be displayed in a web browser). For example, if we wanted them to open the file netreg.jpg, the URL for that would be https://people.laurie.clemson.edu/cpsc120/netreg.jpg
SEARCH ENGINE INDEXING Search engine indexing is no longer blocked by default. So if you do nothing, your site can be searched. To disallow all search engine crawlers from indexing a website, you can create a robots.txt file with the following lines: User-agent: * This tells all user agents (search engine crawlers) not to access any content on your website. You can also use robots.txt file to selectively block certain directories or files from being indexed. For example, to block the indexing of a directory called "private", create a robots.txt file with the following lines: User-agent: * This tells all user agents not to access any content in the "private" directory on the website.
With this service your site will only support https connections. So your website URL will be https://username.people.clemson.edu
If you have more questions, email ITHELP@clemson.edu or call 864-656-3494.
