Web Page Development

How Do You Test (publish) Your web page on RVCC2 UNIX Server

First login to your UNIX account on rvcc2.raritanval.edu

At $ prompt type what is in boldface.

rvcc>mkdir public_html

rvcc>chmod 755 public_html

rvcc>chmod 755 ../login id (preddy for example)

rvcc>cd public_html

rvcc>pico index.html

(Note: If you have used a different web editor instead of pico, just ftp your html file to your UNIX account then transfer that file into public_html subdirectory.)

After you type the web page save it by pressing CTRL and O keys together. Then exit Pico by pressing CTRL and X keys together.

rvcc>chmod 755 index.html

The above step makes your webpage available to the web browser.

Now to test your page do the following. Minimize or close the UNIX session and open Netscape Navigator/Communicator or Internet Explorer browser, then type http://rvcc2.raritanval.edu/~login id (login id = your login name on rvcc2 machine, preddy, etc.) (note: ~ symbol is right above the tab key, and press shift key to get ~)

If everything was done properly your webpage should be displayed in the browser.
