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:
  * {{{https://username.ucc.asn.au}}}
  * {{{https://www.ucc.asn.au/~username}}}

More detail about the configuration can be found [[Systems/Web#Web Serving|here]].

=== Basic Usage ===

Place an {{{index.html}}} document in your {{{public-html/}}} folder to serve as a landing page for your site. Subfolders in {{{public-html/}}} are served as routes for your site, so e.g. {{{public-html/blog/index.html}}} will be served at {{{https://username.ucc.asn.au/blog/}}}. The {{{index.html}}} document is the default document served for any route, however you can also access any file (HTML or not) stored under {{{public-html/}}} or a subdirectory by specifying the filename after the path in the URL. E.g. {{{https://username.ucc.asn.au/contact/gpg.key}}} will serve the file located at {{{public-html/contact/gpg.key}}}.

== Tips ==

Easy ways to upload site files include using [[http://winscp.net/eng/index.php|WinSCP]], [[https://filezilla-project.org/|FileZilla]], [[https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/SCP_and_SFTP|sftp]], [[https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/SSHFS|sshfs]] or a myriad of other ways. You can also use [[SSH]] and a terminal text editor such as [[https://www.vim.org|vim]] or [[https://www.nano-editor.org/|nano]] to edit your files directly. The [[HowToUCC/Program]] page contains more useful tips about performing development work on UCC servers.

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 that 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]].
