Faculty, staff, and students can publish personal websites on Comp, the research and personal web server. IT Services supports Dreamweaver and KompoZer web development software.UARK users have a Comp quota of 300 MB (which is not the same as your email quota).
Web Publishing on Comp
All home pages on Comp must include text of the following disclaimer (a link is not sufficient), as stated in the Code of Computing Practices, Section III, H, 2:
"These materials are not endorsed, approved, sponsored, or provided by or on behalf of the University of Arkansas, Fayetteville."
Web pages are published by uploading the files to your Comp account using your UARK username and password. IT Services supports SSH and mapping a drive for uploading files, and provides instructions for publishing in Dreamweaver and KompoZer. Save all files (web pages, images, files for download) to be published on your site to the public_html directory of your Comp account.
By naming your homepage "index.html," the URL for your home page on Comp will be similar to http://comp.uark.edu/~username. Otherwise, your URL will be similar to http://comp.uark.edu/~username/filename.html. Comp is a Unix server, making filenames and subdirectories case-sensitive. To view your web page, you must use the same capitalization in the URL as the saved and published file.
