Faculty Websites (Userdir)
Overview
Faculty can on request be provisioned with a userdir based faculty website. These are hosted on skeeter.socs.uoguelph.ca which socs.uoguelph.ca is an alias to. Websites are accessible at socs.uoguelph.ca/~<username>.
Configuration Information
- Userdir is an apache module that will provide a website at the address <host_url>/~<username>, ie socs.uoguelph.ca/~kjohns23.
- Data is stored on skeeter under /srv/www/personal/<username>. These must be owned by the faculty member of the website.
- There are some other one-off websites here, fpga (laraval) for Gary, daprlab for David Flatla and drozita for Rozita. These do not use userdir and are managed through standard Apache virtual host configuration.
Alternatives
Userdir websites are more difficult to manage and require the creator to ensure the website is AODA compliant and in line with any other university policies. CCS offers a Wordpress managed solution, CampusPress
