In this page, you will find some basic information to create your own home page on KudoNet. If you experience any problem with these instructions, please report to support@kudonet.com. Any suggestions will be appreciated.
Have your web pages available on the Internet:
First of all, you need to have an account in KudoNet, either an UNIX Shell account or a PPP/SLIP account.
Under your home directory, you need to create a subdirectory "kudo_www". Only those document under kudo_www can be seen by KudoNet's WWW server. After you create kudo_www subdirectory, you have to change the directory permission to at least 755. Your home directory permission should be changed to 755 as well to allow KudoNet's WWW server to access your home page.
Please use chmod command to change your directory permission.
After then, create your greeting file as welcome.html under kudo_www subdirectory. With URL "http://home.kudonet.com/~your_login_name", people on the internet can access to your welcome.html directly.
Setup a guest book/comment form:
Step 1: Copy the following sample form page to your web site
Step 2: Modify the above sample form
Supported fields in the sample form:
You can define <input NAME="field_name"> by yourself. The number of fileds is unlimited. In the above sample form, we show the following three fields as example:
1. Comments
2. Visitor's real name
3. Visitor's E-mail address
Your can add more fields if you want to.
Contents which you can not change:
1. <Form method=POST action="http://www.kudonet.com/p-cgi-bin/form-master.pl">
Contents which you must change:
1. For the following two lines:
<Input TYPE="hidden" NAME="recipient" VALUE="your_user_name@kudonet.com"><p>
<Input TYPE="hidden" NAME="webpageowner" VALUE="Your own name or comapny name">
Please replace: "your_user_name@kudonet.com" and "Your own name or comapny
name" with proper setting. Note: Do NOT delete the double quote!
Have a directory username and password protected:
Step 1: You need to create a .htaccess file under the directory where you what to have password protected.
Here is an example of the .htaccess file:
AuthUserFile /home/<your username>/kudo_www/<protected dir>/.htpasswd AuthGroupFile /dev/null AuthName Please Enter Your Password... AuthType Basic <Limit GET> require valid-user </Limit>
Step 2: Since the .htaccess file reference to a password file called .htpasswd, you need to use the command "htpasswd" to creat the .htpasswd file:
Under your Unix shell prompt--
kudo20% htpasswd -c .htpasswd test <-- use "-c" only if you create the .htpasswd for the first time Adding password for test. <-- since you want to setup a password for user "test" New password: <-- enter "test"'s password here Re-type new password: <-- re-enter "test"'s password to confirm it! kudo20%
Please note: if you have had the .htpasswd created, do NOT use -c option any more or all your previous usernames and passwords created will get lost!
Step 3: After this, visitors will be prompted to enter their username and password before they can get into that directory.
If you need some gif support, here will show you some wonderful gif files which you can include in your home page.
