Every CAEDM account and group has a webspace.

CAEDM provides public webspace to all groups individually. The default group http URL is:

http://groupname.groups.et.byu.net/

Web content is modified in the 'www' directory, located in root of the group directory for CAEDM groups.

Making Pages

The default page for webspace is the 'index.html' or 'index.php' file in the 'www' directory. If this file does not exist (it does not exist by default) you will get an error in trying to access the page.

Supported Modules

CAEDM Web servers support a number of modules, including:

  • PHP
  • Perl
  • Python
  • MySQL
  • LDAP
  • htaccess permissions
  • CAS login

Databases

If you have need of a database in your web implementation, that functionality is provided through MySQL.

Group Webspace

Using group webspace allows the following:

  • Access can be granted and removed from users or groups of users by the group owner.
  • Groups can be passed from owner to owner as students and faculty graduate or leave the university.
