School of Computer Science and Software Engineering

Personal web pages

The School offers students and staff personal web pages.

These pages must comply with the school's policy on computer usage and may be required for various units, but otherwise students and staff are free to use them as they like.

URL

Your webpage can be found at http://student.csse.uwa.edu.au/~username.

From 2010 your username is your student number, so if your username was 012345678, your web page would be at http://student.csse.uwa.edu.au/~012345678.

Staff and postgrads (ie, those people who are not logging in with their pheme credientials) can access their web pages at http://people.csse.uwa.edu.au/username.

Location of web files

Your web files are located in your linux home area under the WWW directory.

Please note the capital WWW - files place in the directory www (lowercase) will not be accessible.

404 (file not found) errors

If you receive a 404 error check the filename and path to the file.

The web server is case sensitive, so "filename", "Filename" and "FILENAME" are all different.

Permission denied errors

Most likely the permissions on your WWW directory are incorrectly set. For the web server to access them they need to be world readable and any directories need to be world executable. The can be set with the command "chmod a+r filename" under linux.
