Fixing permissions on your personal web site WWW directory.Last revision October 17, 2005 The WWW subdirectory in your pangea home directory is the location where your personal web pages are stored. This directory is automatically created for all new pangea accounts with correct permissions. If you have accidentally deleted this subdirectory or changed its permissions or those of the parent directory, follow the directions below to recreate it correctly. From a pangea command-line login (for example, from the Samson program or an ssh client), type these commands (don't forget to press the RETURN key after typing each command):
cd
The mkdir command creates the WWW directory. If it already exists, you will get an error message, but can continue. The chmod commands make sure that your WWW subdirectory is readable and searchable by everyone, which is necessary if you want people to actually see your Web pages. Your home directory also has to be searchable by everyone in order for your WWW subdirectory to be found.
