README

CS 247

Web site for CS 247.

Getting started

Local development

Start the local server by running the following command:

i-server --index index.shtml --rootpath 2017-spring

You might need to make ./ssi-server executable first by e.g. running chmod +x ./ssi-server.

The index option changes the default index file from index.html to one allowing server side includes. The rootpath option allows to mimick running in a subdirectory on the actual webserver. CS247 has so far put content for each class in a subdirectory based on year and quarter of the instantiation of the course.

Deployment

Run ./deploy.sh from the repository root. This assumes a fully configured hci host in your .ssh/config file. An example configuration would be:

 hci
stname hci.stanford.edu
er <<<your csid>>>
rwardAgent yes

Rationale and background

This is meant to be a pretty static HTML site. We wanted no build system. But we also wanted DRY includes. Our solution are Server Side Includes. Stanford's web servers are running Apache [0], and Apache has an implementation of Server Side Includes. SSI allows for includes like this:

#include virtual="header.html" -->
 Some HTML</h1>
#include virtual="footer.html" -->

Note no space after the opening comment <!-- is allowed. Name all files that will use include statements *.shtml.

[0] See if that's still true when you read this: curl --silent -I http://www.stanford.edu | grep Apache

Setup Apache SSI

This is already done for you, but FYI:

• Add an .htaccess file to the class directory with this option: Options +Includes
