Class Home Page

  1. Do you have your public_html directory set up?

    If your don't already have a public_html directory setup, follow steps 1 and 2 in Putting your Homepage on the Web.

  2. Create a directory for your class in your public_html directory

    Create a directory in your public_html directory with the following naming scheme: course#.section#.yearquarter

    Use only lower case letters and make the directory world-readable.
    For example, for Math 32A, Section 2, for Fall 2000:  32a.2.00f

    myhost.7> mkdir 32a.2.00f

    myhost.8> chmod 755 32a.2.00f

    The naming scheme is 00f, 00w, 00s. Since there are multiple summer sessions, contact the webmaster <webmaster@math.ucla.edu> for the summer naming scheme.

  3. Put your class home page in the class directory with the name "index.html" and make it world readable
myhost.9> chmod 644 index.html

There is a script that is run nightly that will search for this index.html file in your class directory. If the directory and file exist, a link will be put on the Math Department generated class page. Using Math 32A, Lecture 2 for Fall '98 as an example again, the URL for the Math Department generated page is:

http: //www.math.ucla.edu/classes/math/00f/32a.2.00f/default.html

You should link all your course pages to the index.html page, so students can access the material from one location. The script also picks up links to the following file names (this is optional):

It is very important to have the correct directory and file name. If you have a question or problem with the naming scheme or links to the Math Dept. webpages, please contact the webmaster <webmaster@math.ucla.edu> early in the quarter.

A listing of all the course webpages for the current quarter is accessible through the UCLA Mathematics Dept. Course Page.
