Preparing a Home Page

It isn't hard. In a nutshell you create a sub-directory www, change the permissions so people can access this directory and then prepare files using the pico editor.

At the system prompt; e.g., mccoy>, type the following which makes a subdirectory and changes the file permissions;

mkdir www
chmod 755 www

Then change to the www subdirectory;

cd www

Now use the pico editor to prepare a file. Your home file should be named index.html.

Once you have saved the file, and are at the mccoy> prompt, you must change the file permissions so people may read this file. Be sure you are in your www subdirectory and type;

chmod 644 *

This makes all files in the www subdirectory readable by web users.
