Common Problems
Web Access
-
My webpage doesn't work.
There are a number of possible problems, but check for these
common things first:
- Is the subdirectory for all of your pages called web-docs and is it located immediately off of your main user directory?
- Are the permissions on the directories related to your web files all set to 755 in order to allow others to read and execute web files?
Use chmod 755 <dirname>
to change directory permissions.
- Are the permissions on files in your web directories set to 644 in order to allow other the ability to read the indivirual files?
Use chmod 644 <filename> to change file permissions.
- Is the default file in that directory called index.html?
-
I can't logon the computer.
Some possible causes are:
- You don't have an account
- Your password is wrong
- Default settings in your directory cause an error
- The computer isn't receiving account updates and doesn't know you exist
- The computer's network connection is not good
- The computer you are trying to use is down
- The main file server has crashed
- The computer is unplugged
- All of the above
