Organizational path names

Introduction

Many instructions regarding how to use Stanford Web Services involve path names, sometimes to show what to change in your web files, sometimes to insert as parameters for a script or other command. Path names supplied in instructions for personal web pages generally work for groups, classes, and departments if you make the following path name changes:

Path to AFS home directory

When you see something like

/afs/ir/users/y/o/yourname/WWW/

replace it with one of

/afs/ir/group/yourgroup/WWW/
/afs/ir/class/yourclass/WWW/
/afs/ir/dept/yourdept/WWW/

Server path to your home page

And when you see something like

/~user

replace it with one of

/group/yourgroup
/class/yourclass
/dept/yourdept
