I want to re-emphasize something that we all encounter from time to time. It's important to be aware of where we are in our file structures. When you create your new directory on Isis for subtask 1.4, be sure to create it within the public_html directory.
If you create it in this directory (here I use the word "onyen" to represent an actual Onyen)
/afs/isis.unc.edu/home/o/n/onyen
it was created at the top level of your file structure. So, when you use your browser to go to (here I use the words "new_directory" to represent the name of the directory you just created)
http://www.unc.edu/~onyen/new_directory
you won't find it.
You won't find it because you cannot reach your top level space in Isis via a web browser coming into Isis via the web port (usually port 80). The ~ in the address tells Isis that you want to go to the public_html directory within the directory assigned to the onyen. Thus, you want to create your new directory in the directory one level lower in the hierarchy, or at this level
/afs/isis.unc.edu/home/o/n/onyen/public_html
When you do this, you can use this address
http://www.unc.edu/~onyen/new_directory
in your browser to find it.
