| To put stuff in your website, put files in {{{/home/ucc/username/public-html/}}} | User websites can be configured by placing files in the {{{public-html/}}} folder of their home directory (usually {{{/home/ucc/username/}}}). These files are then served by an Apache 2 webserver running on [[Mussel]] to the locations: * {{{http://username.ucc.asn.au}}} * {{{http://www.ucc.asn.au/~username}}} |

If you register a domain name, we can point it at your website; get in contact with a [[WheelGroup|Wheel]] member. Conversely, if you have your own website and want your UCC site to redirect to this instead, you can configure this yourself by placing a [[https://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.4/howto/htaccess.html|.htaccess]] file with a {{{Redirect}}} directive in your {{{public-html/}}} folder. The {{{.htaccess}}} file allows you to control other aspects of Apache configuration for your site as well, such as [[https://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.4/howto/cgi.html|running CGI scripts]]. |
All UCC members get personal web space.
How It Works
User websites can be configured by placing files in the public-html/ folder of their home directory (usually /home/ucc/username/). These files are then served by an Apache 2 webserver running on Mussel to the locations:
http://username.ucc.asn.au
http://www.ucc.asn.au/~username

If you register a domain name, we can point it at your website; get in contact with a Wheel member. Conversely, if you have your own website and want your UCC site to redirect to this instead, you can configure this yourself by placing a .htaccess file with a Redirect directive in your public-html/ folder. The .htaccess file allows you to control other aspects of Apache configuration for your site as well, such as running CGI scripts.
