Frequently Asked Questions
- My question isn't listed here. Who do I ask? Send email to itadm.csci@tamucc.edu
- If you want to have your own database, send email to itadm.csci@tamucc.edu and tell them what you want your database to be named.
- How can I protect my directory so that other users cannot read my files?
We normally recommend that you change your directory to disallow people from listing the contents of your home directory by executingchmod 711 $HOMEfrom a command prompt. People will still be able to access files in your home directory only if they know the exact filenames beforehand. The web server will be able to display files in your .html directory (because it already knows the name .html).
- How can I cut and paste text from one window into another?
You can select text with the primary mouse button (left, typically) and paste it into another window with the middle mouse button. If you have only 2 buttons, clicking both together provides the same functionality of the middle button of a 3 button mouse.

- How do I post my website on riddler server?
