Setting up a pub directory with a Glue account that resides on a non-AFS homespace server

First, see how your homespace is mounted:

1. Log into your account via SSH.
2. At the prompt, type: quota
3. If you see a Volume name that begins with h.something, then your homespace is in AFS, and this process does not apply to your Glue account.
4. However, if you see an error, or anything that does not begin with a volume name that starts with h, then your homespace is NFS mounted.

If your homespace is NFS mounted, or if your account is a deans account, there are a few steps that you should take to set up your pub directory:

1. Log into your account via SSH.
2. At the prompt, type: mkdir public_html
3. then type: chmod 755 public_html
4. then type: ln -s public_html pub
5. then type: chmod 711 .

Now your public directory is reachable by the glue web server. You can reach it from your home directory by typing cd pub.
