Guidelines when and how to use our own web server for normal web pages.

Our official web pages are located at university web server, there should be official information about our department. This server is meant to provide additional services for our department which are not available from university computer center.

• Do not install any web applications without permission from administrator. Not even simplest one.
• If you make your own html, make sure that it goes through html and css validators without errors and warnings.
• Use wiki if you don't have good reasons to make your own html pages.
• It would be nice if color themes or layout is some way similar to look used at server main page. See templates. From template folder you can find commented html templates for same look that server main page use. There is few variations available, just copy template you like to your folder and modify it to fit our needs.

Access to web server files is controlled using titewww group, old titekurs and titeprj groups are not used in this server. With titewww group membership you will get access to course, project and laboratory folders and few more.

• \\www2.it.lut.fi\www samba share is usable inside university network ( linux samba mount instructions)
• cursa.pc.lut.fi provides access to same area through nfs file shares. Share is mounted at folder /net/www2/www

You can use university web server for laboratory level information, but at www2.it.lut.fi laboratories have own folders to put their web pages up. It's possible to run research demo applications, distribute large videos and lot of other things which are not possible with university web server. Laboratories have following folders available:

• comlab
• mvpr
• swe

Project files are put under project/projects folder. Make own folder for project and put files there. If you want project to be shown at project list, add info.txt file to project folder and following information there.

1. line: Description for project, ex. full name
2. line: Project start date, use format YYYY or YYYY.MM.DD (optional)
3. line: Project end date, use format YYYY or YYYY.MM.DD (optional)

If you want to remove old project from project list, just delete info.txt file from project folder.

Course lists and main pages are located at noppa.lut.fi, and you can use our wiki to support noppa functionality. If you need place to put normal web pages or other files ex. large video files, make course folder under kurssit/courses folder and put your files there. Use official course number for folder name. There is course index for those folders under kurssit/courses folder, but noppa is our course index and all students should be guided there at first.

If you want course to be shown at course list, add info.txt file to course folder and following information there. This work only course folders under kurssit folder.

1. line: Description for course, ex. full name
2. line: Course start date, use format YYYY or YYYY.MM.DD (optional)
3. line: Course end date, use format YYYY or YYYY.MM.DD (optional)

Old course archives have been transferred under kurssit/courses folder too, these will be located under folders named like 08-09, 07-08 and so on…

It's possible to have special folders for things which does not directly fit to course, laboratory or project areas.

• Ex. ItCanBeFun folder is meant for marketing material related to that slogan.

If you have web elements which are used in web pages located to different folders, you can put those to following root folders:

• css folder for stylesheets
• images folder for images
• common folder for html or php pages

Discuss with admin if you have some other web server needs which are not covered in this page.
