Create the following directory tree in your home directory:

{| class="wikitable"
	|-
	!  Directory
	!  Description
	!  Command To Change Permission
	|-
	|  ''~/''
	|  your home directory
	|  chmod o+x ~/
	|-
	|  ''~/etc/''
	|  your ''etc'' directory
	|  chmod o+x ~/etc/
	|-
	|  ''~/etc/www/''
	|  your document root
	|  chmod o+x ~/etc/www/
	|-
	|  ''~/etc/www/index.html''
	|  your public home page
	|  chmod o+r ~/etc/www/index.html
	|}

Ensure that ''~/'', ''~/etc/'', ''~/etc/www/'', and all subdirectories of
''~/etc/www'' are world executable and that all files in ''~/etc/www/'' and
below are world readable.  See the above table for the commands to use to
change the permissions.  You may wish to read

Populate your ''~/etc/www/'' directory with the web content that you wish to
publish to the web.  The file served up the Apache web server as your personal
web site's home page is ''~/etc/www/index.html''.

You can access your personal web site using the following url:

<nowiki>http://www.ece.ubc.ca/~<your username></nowiki>

For example, if your username is janedoe, then your personal web site could be
accessed using:

<nowiki>http://www.ece.ubc.ca/~janedoe</nowiki>
