Pantheon Web Publishing
If you have a webpage, you can easily publish it using your Pantheon space. It will then be accessible at the address http://pantheon.yale.edu/~YourNetID. If you wish to publish a webpage, follow these basic instructions.
1. Enable web publishing on your account using the Pantheon Account Tool. Doing this creates a folder called public_html in your home directory, sets its permissions appropriately, and creates a default index.html in that directory.
You can also do this manually instead of using the Pantheon Account Tool. Connect to the terminal and run the following commands:
mkdir ~/public_html
chmod 755 ~/public_html
The first command creates the public_html folder, and the second sets the appropriate permissions.
2. Now, HTML files that you upload into the public_html folder will be accessible on the web. To learn how to upload files, see Pantheon File Transfer. Note that only files in the public_html folder are accessible; thus, you can create other folders for backing up files.
3. The permissions set on a file may prevent you from being able to view it on the Internet. Everybody should have read access to the files you are publishing, and read and execute privileges for folders that contain files you wish to be accessible. See the File Permissions section below for more details, including how to change permissions with SSH, Fugu, or the Pantheon prompt.
In publishing your webpage, you may wish to consult a Yale Student Tech, a set of student employees at Yale who provide general technology assistance help. You can also add your page to the Gallery of Yale Personal Home Pages.
