Host a Personal Web Page on MySBfiles
Personal web pages can be set up within a MySBfiles fairly easily.
To do so, create a directory called “ public_html ” within the root of MySBfiles
and place all of the web pages that you wish to be accessible in there.
The web server will automatically attempt to display these files when you visit a
personal web page, in the following order:
default.htm
default.html
index.htm
index.html
welcome.htm
welcome.html
- The URL or web address to access any personal web page is as follows:
http://MySBfiles.stonybrook.edu/~NetID
(NOTE: Replace NetID with the actual NetID of the user whose web page you wish to view).
- If there isn’t a file in the “ public_html ” directory which matches one of these names, then a “File not found” error will be returned by the web server.
-
If you wish to use a filename other than those listed above, you’d need to specify that filename in the URL. (i.e. http://MySBfiles.stonybrook.edu/~NetID/myfile.html)
