Pages on the WorldWideWeb are accessed using a browser. On the ARBI systems, the programmes Firefox, Seamonkey, Opera or Safari are often used for this purpose. The homepage of the Department of Computing Science is:

www.Computing Science.Uni-Oldenburg.DE

You can store data in your HOME directory so that it can be called up as WWW pages from the Internet. Please note that under no circumstances may third-party rights be violated (see user regulations). To activate the mechanism, publication permission must be obtained informally by email at the email address unixsupport@informatik.uni-oldenburg.de and the directory public_html must then be created in the HOME directory and provided with suitable access authorisations:

mkdir ~/public_html

chmod og+x ~ ~/public_html

The data in ~/public_html, in particular the index.html file and the data and files referenced via HTML, can now be opened as a WWW page via the URL

http://www.Computing Science.Uni-Oldenburg.DE/~login
