Unzip and Unpack the tar file in your home directory. $> gunzip msu_atlas_www.tar.gz $> tar -xvf msu_atlas_www.tar 3. Link www directory to msu_atlas_www $> ln -s msu_atlas_www www 4. Make sure that directorys have permissions 755 and files 644. The defaults on www.pa.msu.edu are not set correctly for viewing over the web. Description of files: msu_atlas.css: Cascading style sheet. Sets style for webpage. Should only be edited if you want to change the color, font, etc. index.php: Sets overall page layout, which is everything that remains static. Based upon the variable passed using php, a different sub-page is loaded into this page. Should be edited by filling in personal information. Replace YOUR_NAME, YOUR_EMAIL, etc. by the appropriate info. A Michigan State "S" can be substituted for the ATLAS logo (search for the line ) menu.php: Determines the menu bar on the left side of the page. Can pass variables via php to index.php in tags. For example: passes the variable menu_contact. The file "menu_contact.php" is then loaded into index.php. You should edit this file for information approproate to you. menu_introduction.php: The default page loaded into index.hph. Loaded when someone goes to your web directory or passes a variable to index.php which does not have a corresponding file. You should edit this for your personal use. Include a picture of yourself (be sure that the height and width parameters are compatable with the dimensions of the picture). Picture goes in the image/ directory. Basic contact info or something else important can also be added. menu_contact.php: Extended conact info. Make other pages in a similar way and don't forget that the file name must correspond to the link in menu.php. menu_presentations.php: An example of where you can list your presentations. images directory: Contains all images required for display of the page.
