Web Hosting
There are four web-hosting options offered at CIM. Depending on your needs, you may use any number of the following services:
Direct Web hosting
To host a personal web page, there is a hidden “.public_html” folder in your home directory. Anything placed in this directory will be publicly accessible at https://cim.mcgill.ca/~CIMUSERNAME.
The CIM server will look for the following files as the index file for your site (in order)
- index.php
- index.html
- welcome.html
- Welcome.html
- Home.html
- home.html
The CIM server will honor “.htaccess” files within your “.public_html” directory
For those requiring DAV access (Distributed Authoring and Versioning), create a sub-folder called “dav” in the “.public_html” folder and the content of that folder will be accessible with your CIM credentials.
Wordpress
Dokuwiki System
