Does the department have persoanl web space available?
Simple answer: Yes.
So how do I go about accessing my perosnal web space?
When a new account is created for a SoM user, a
directory on the web hosting machine is created. It
is then linked to the user home directory of the user
and is accessible on any of the linux lab machines
local in the NWC. Users can access their web space
remotely by connection to rossby, the departmental
mail server.
In each user account, there is a directory named http. Placing html and php files in this directory and any subsequent subfolder will allow web access to those files.
Plans are being made to allow access to user web space on the Mac lab machines sometime this year.

How to I make a simple html page?
HyperText Markup Language
(HTML) is a switched language. That means
you turn features on and off using a switch.
An example of a basic html file is as follows:
This will produce a simple webpage that has a title for the browser and a simple text line of welcome.
While not the most sophisticated webpage, it is basic and informative (well kinda of).

What is the URL for accessing my personal web space?
The URL for any individual user is as follows:
http://weather.ou.edu/~[usesrname]
where username is your assigned login name (without the brackets) given to you when you got your account. Remember that the tilda (~) in front of the username is important.
http://weather.ou.edu/~[usesrname]

OK, I have put a few files there and I still do not see
my website. What's up with that?
Well, in order for a file to be seen, one of two
things need to true:
1. Your main (or home) page should be called index.html
2. Any other file name and you need to use the full name and text in the URL: http://weather.ou.edu/username/myfile.html

I am running out of space, what do I do now?
Check that you are using the space wisely. Remember
that this is a work space and if you are using the
space to show off pictures of you pets or latest car,
then you will need to decide what is more important.
But if you need space for work related projects and
course work, then simply e-mail the sysadmin and
request additional space.
