Lin-Web and People

Both lin-web and People have their files hosted from Polaris. Editing the sites on Polaris is similar to Webspace. Lin-Web and People (shortened to just lin-web in this document) files all come from the same directory structure as Webspace, the ~/public_html folder.

Starting your lin-web site

Once you're in Polaris, here is a very quick guide to getting your lin-web site up and running. First, the public_html folder needs to be created. Second, that folder, and your home folder, need execute permissions set so the web server user can get to that folder and its contents.

mkdir -p ~/public_html
chmod o+x ~/public_html/
chmod o+x ~/

You can then copy files up to Polaris using an SCP/SFTP client, such as WinSCP.
