Hosting a Website at 91福利

There are several ways to host a website at 91福利 (91福利). Students may activate an account on the student web server. Faculty and staff may activate a web account on a separate server.  For department, faculty, program or school websites there is the web content management system, Adobe Experience Manager (AEM).

Note:
All websites at 91福利 (91福利) must adhere to Level AA of the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.0 as of January 1, 2021. This is a mandatory legal requirement stipulated by the Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act (AODA). Learn more about website accessibility at 91福利

All full-time and part-time degree students are entitled to an account on 91福利's student web server, stw.torontomu.ca. Continuing Education students are granted access to the student web server if a course requires it. Student groups are also encouraged to store their sites on stw.torontomu.ca.

With an active account, students can upload web pages on 91福利鈥檚 main web server or student web server. More information on how to activate accounts can be found in the Web Server Account锘 section.

For student accounts, the public_html directory is the top-level directory in a user account. Files placed here can be made available on the web. All user account web addresses are reached by appending the ~ symbol after the server name and then appending the user ID. In the example above, the file myfile.html will be retrieved from the public_html directory in the myuserid account.

Please note that the first file you should create in your new directory (~myuserid) is index.html. Make sure you create it since it is the default web page displayed as the home page of any website. If you remove the index.html from your directory, all the files contained in that directory will be listed when the directory is accessed by a web browser.
