Building 3D Models for the Web Introduction to HTML

Creating your own Web Page

1. Log into one of the SGIs
   1. Select "IUP Vax" under the Apple menu.
   2. Ignore the window that prompts for your VMS username or press Control-z to cancel it.
   3. Under the File menu, select Open Connection.
   4. In the Session Name field, enter the name of one of the SGIs, cheetah.ma.iup.edu, jaguar.ma.iup.edu, or leopard.ma.iup.edu. It doesn't matter which one you log into because they all share the same Web directories.
   5. Click on OK.
   6. Enter your SGI username and password.

2. Copy a template into your public_html directory
   1. Go to your personal Web directory

      jaguar 1% cd public_html

   2. Copy the template and give it public read access

      jaguar 2% cp /usr/people/ls499/sample.html index.html
      jaguar 3% chmod 644 index.html

3. Modify the template
   1. Open index.html using the pico editor and modify the template

      jaguar 4% pico index.html

4. View the changes
   1. While in pico, press control-x or control-o to save your changes
   2. View your new HTML page at http://cheetah.ma.iup.edu/~username/, where "username" is replaced with your own username. On this Web server, if you do not include the file name, it is assumed to be index.html.
