Web Forwarding

By default, all student homepages are listed at http://www.me.berkeley.edu/~username. If you would like to make your website accessible at this url, please see the help file.

If instead you would like another machine to house your web page, and you want your student homepage url to automatically update to that location, you will need to do the following.

  1. Copy the following code to a file named index.html in your ~/public_html directory
  2. Replace the items in italics with the correct URL.
  3. Type chmod 644 ~/public_html/index.html
<HTML>
<HEAD>
<META HTTP-EQUIV="Refresh" CONTENT="2; URL=http://Your_lab_web_server.me.berkeley.edu/~username">
</HEAD>
<BODY>
<FONT SIZE=4>
You are being forwarded to:<br>
<A HREF="http://Your_lab_web_server.me.berkeley.edu/~username">http://Your_lab_web_ server.me.berkeley.edu/~username</a>
