Student Web Access via E-Locker

Please read the following information carefully.

Web space is provided via e-locker for students to complete college web based projects. By using this service, you must read and agree to the College Acceptable Use Guidelines.

LAMP is an acronym  for Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP. This host will also serve JavaServer Pages, or JSP files.

In order to use your web space, you must already have a valid SNAP account. SNAP is also an acronym, and stands for Single Network Access Pass. More information on your SNAP account is available at http://snap.cpcc.edu/.

For those of you who require database access, MySQL relational database software is available in this environment. Web-based administration software called phpMyAdmin is provided as a gui front end. Once you have your SNAP account, you may login to phpMyAdmin. NOTE: Before logging into phpMyAdmin the first time or after you change your password in SNAP, please sync your credentials and create your database by accessing phpMyadminSetup.

*** IMPORTANT NOTE ***
If you experience problems logging into phpMyAdmin even after syncing your credentials via phpMyAdminSetup, please delete all lamp.cpcc.edu cookies. This will solve a known issue in phpMyAdmin.

The following instructions should be followed in order to publish to your web space. NOTE: These instructions are different from previous semesters. If you wish to continue to use this service, you must use this new format.

• Connect to your E-Locker. More information is available on the SNAP site.  
• Create a folder called 'www'. This will be a container for all web content.
• Within the 'www' folder, create a folder called 'lamp'. This will be the root of your web space.
• Save your content to the lamp folder. Try a simple html page called 'index.htm' to start with.
• The following url format is used to access the index page created above: http://lamp.cpcc.edu/~cme66h3f/index.htm. You could also use http://lamp.cpcc.edu/~cme66h3f , since index.htm will be returned by default.
• The previous example assumes your SNAP username is 'cme66h3f'. The basic format is 'lamp.cpcc.edu/~' + 'your SNAP username'. Don't forget the '~' before your username!

Any folders that you place within your 'lamp' folder on E-Locker will be appended to the url when accessed via http. You should ask your instructor their preferred format for work in your class.
