Pre-reading Material

 

Getting ready to install an open source Content Management System

 

This preparatory material will help you set up a Content Management System that can be administered over the www.

 

Requirements:

 

  1. Some web space on ivy.shu.ac.uk ('homepages'). Check to see that it can be seen externally by typing the following into a browser URL address bar: http://homepages.shu.ac.uk/~your_username, where your_username is the SHU network login username. Below is the page for a student with username: rhill8, thus the url is http://homepages.shu.ac.uk/~rhill8

If you can't see it, then you need to register your homepage for external access. You can do this at: http://students.shu.ac.uk/lits/it/student_homepages/index.html

 

 

  1. A MySQL account on ivy.shu.ac.uk.

 

When you want to create any web pages, you should save them in your 'public_html' folder in the normal network file space.

 

Now back to set up.
