We use WordPress to set up personal webpages in on the COR@L server. Your personal webpage was created along with your account. Go to http://coral.ise.lehigh.edu/~username with username replaced by your COR@L ID. There will be a setup page if this is your first visit.
If you do not have a page please contact COR@L Lab admins. They will create one for you. Once you created your page go over all settings and make sure to disable comment posts. We strongly recommend you to go over all the settings and make sure to choose the most conservative/secure options.
Your wordpress directory lives in coral (coral.ie.lehigh.edu
) server. Your directory is located at /srv/www/coral_users/username
, where username is your user id. You are advised to update your WordPress from time to time. This can be only done through ssh access. You can do this following the instructions here.
Installing WordPress themes and plug-ins are also done through ssh access. Instructions can be found here.
