Creating your web pageTo setup a directory for your web documents, type the following three commands:1. mkdir ~/public_html This creates the subdirectory in your home directory in which the web server will look for your documents.
2. chmod a+x ~/public_html This sets the permissions on that directory so the web server can read the documents in it.
3. chmod a+x ~ This is necessary so that files in your account will be executable.
Make sure that any files you put in ~/public_html are world-readable. You can set this by typing chmod a+r ~/public_html/filename for each file filename or chmod -R a+r ~/public_html to make all files in ~/public_html world-readable. You'll also want to make sure that all the parent directories of your web documents are world-searchable, via chmod a+x. Your quota on the Zoo file server is also the limit for the size of your web space.The URL https://zoo.cs.yale.edu/~NetID/ points to the file index.html in your html directory.
