Making a basic website on a school computer science account

Assuming you already have an account with your school's computer science department, running linux,
1. Open Terminal

2. In terminal execute the following commands:
chmod 711 ~
mkdir public_html
chmod 711 public_html
cd public_html

 

3. Now, you are in you public_html folder, while in there make a new index.html file:

option 1:

vi index.html

press the i key

type "Hello World"

press esc then :wq

proceed onto step 4

option 2:

go to your regular file system and create a index.html doc with your favorite basic editor then save it into public_html

 

option 3:

cat > index.html

type "Hello World"

press ctrl+D

proceed onto step 4

 

4. In terminal
chmod 744 index.html

Now you have your first empty webpage!

5. For more webpages, repeat steps 3 and 4 but with a name other than index
