Once you are logged into the server you will be in your Root directory. Just name your first pag e index.html or home.html and you should be able to view your page through a browser. You can create your own directory structure from there.

For each file that is a directory, ls lists the contents of the directory; for each file that is an ordinary file, ls repeats its name and any other information requested. The output is sorted alphabetically by default. When no argument is given, the current directory is listed. When several arguments are given, the arguments are first sorted appropriately, but file arguments appear before directories and their contents.

Usage:

ls -l

-lists files in long format, giving file permissions, size, owner, group and other info

ls -a

-lists hidden files along with other files

cd Change working directory.

The cd utility will change the working directory of the current shell execution environment. When invoked with no operands, and the HOME environment variable is set to a non-empty value, the directory named in the HOME environment variable will become the new working directory.

Usage:

cd [dir]

-changes current working directory to dir

cd

-changes current working directory to your home directory

pico

Pico is a unix text editor that is excellent for making changes to files on line. It is invoked by typing pico [file name] from the command prompt. You can write and save your changes right on line without uploading and downloading your files.

The Unix environment is a rich one to perform many tasks on line. Our servers are packed with most programs you will need to perform a multitude of tasks. A short review of Unix commands available at many locations on the net will allow you to harn ess this power for your site. Also typing "help" at any command prompt will bring up a help menu.

Pophost or Popserver
Pophost or popserver refers to the name of the pophost on our network. You are given your pophost information along with your pop account information when you signup. For example "pophost.pwebtech.com".

SMTP server

SMTP is the outgoing mail server. For this you should enter the smtp host you were assigned at signup. For example "smtp.pwebtech.com".

• README - Useful installation instructions.
• search.pl - The Perl script which does the searching.
• search.html - A sample HTML Search Page.

Installation:

1. Modify search.pl

   $basedir = ''; This is the base directory to the files you will want to search. If you have all of your files in /web1/home1/w00000 and you want to search files that are in /web1/home1/w00000/work and /web1/home1/w00000/fun, then you would set your base directory at /web1/home1/w00000/. The $basedir variable just saves you the time of having to type out the basedir over and over again for every file you want to include.

   $baseurl = ''; This is very similar to the basedir variable except that it will be used as a base reference to the files you want to search in terms of the web. For the example if your domain is helloworld.com, your baseurl would probably be something like: http://helloworld.com/ . so that when the searched files are appended to this baseurl, they form a complete url to his files to place in the results.

   @files = (); This is an array that includes all of the files you want to search. The directory paths and filenames should be in reference to $basedir. Wild cards are allowed in this array, so if you wanted to search all html files in fun/ and work/, you would set your @files array up as: @files = ('fun/*.html','work/*.html'); You can also search whole directories at one time, like: @files = ('fun/','work/'); This would search all text files located in these directories. Putting exact filenames will search only that filename.

   $title = ""; This variable is used to display the title of your page in the search results and used to link back to your main page. For example if your domain is helloworld.com you might want to set the $title to be 'Hello World'.

   $title_url = ''; This is the url that would link to the page $title. Example: $title_url='http://helloworld.com/';

   $search_url = ''; This is the url to the search.html page you set up, so that it can be referenced from in the results page if users want to make another search. Example: $search_url = 'http://helloworld.com/mysearch.html';

2. Change the permissions on the search.pl script by running: chmod 755 search.pl
3. Modify search.html

   This page needs only a little changing. You will probably want to change the title and header of this page to match your site, and you may want to change the background and other features of it to make it fit into your site better.

   The main thing you will need to change is the action="" of your script from the fake url, to the url of your search.pl script. Once you have changed this, and have implemented the changes listed above in search.pl, the search program should work. Example: action="http://helloworld.com/cgi-bin/Search/search.pl"

4. search.html should be chmoded 744 so that it is readable by everyone.

For more information on this script please consult README file at ./cgi-bin/Search/README off your home directory.

* These files are in your path from your shell account and do not require a full path to use.

pnm://[server]/[yourdomain]/[realaudio file]

So for example, if your are on the orion.pwebtech.com server, and your domain is hingis.com, then you might have in your jovovich.ram file the following:

pnm://orion.pwebtech.com/hingis/jovovich.ra

Likewise, be sure to reference your cgi scripts in the same manner:

1) Create a passwd file. You can create a passwd file with the "htpasswd" utility on the server.

To create a new password file run: htpasswd -c [filename] [user]
For example: htpasswd -c .htpasswd hingis

You will then be prompted for a password for the user.

To add a new user to an existing password file, run the command: htpasswd [passwd file] [user]
For example: htpasswd .htpasswd martina

Again you will be prompted for a password for "martina".

2) Create a .htaccess file. You can either create this file locally and ftp the file to the server, or you can edit the file directly on the server using the text editor pico: pico .htaccess

A standard .htaccess file contains the following:

AuthUserFile <full path to the password file>
AuthGroupFile <full path to a group file>
AuthName <Prompt to be displayed in the pop up window>
AuthType Basic

For example, if you want to protect a directory "members" in your root directory, place the following .htaccess file in the members directory. Be sure to include the full path including your home directory for the AuthUserFile. This assumes your document directory is located in /web3/home1/www255, and your passwd file is named ".htpasswd" and is located in the members directory.

AuthUserFile /web2/home1/www255/members/.htpasswd
AuthGroupFile /dev/null
AuthName This Area is Restricted to Members Only.
AuthType Basic

<Limit GET>
require valid-user
</Limit>
