Requesting Muhlenberg Web Presence

Requests for a presence on Muhlenberg's web site are being accepted only from campus departments and official student groups. No individual web pages are being posted at this time.

Requests must be submitted to the Webmaster in OIT and are subject to approval by the INC committee. You may request web presence one of the following ways.


OIT will create a new subdirectory of the web root directory (where all files on Muhlenberg's web site are stored) for your department's web page files. We will also create a new UNIX users group for your department, which includes all of the responsible persons named in the request. This will allow anyone in your users group to edit the web pages, and protect your files from being edited by anyone else. All files should be owned by the primary responsible person. Online instructions are provided by OIT for the technical aspects of this procedure (such as: how to upload files to your department's web directory and how to set permissions).

Once the web site development has begun, it is the responsibility of the web page owner to maintain the proper ownerships and permissions on all of their files. OIT may alert appropriate persons, lock the offending files, or take other action as necessary to ensure that security is maintained.

Note on Muhlenberg web pages (4/99): Under normal circumstances, links to commercial web sites that advertise and/or promote retail products are generally not allowed.
