The Department owns the following instructional servers:
- Sun Sparc servers
- www.ece.uci.edu (aliased to newport)
- newport.eecs.uci.edu (aliased to malibu)
- malibu.eecs.uci.edu (the primary web server, now aliased to vivian)
- vivian.eecs.uci.edu -- the remaining Solaris server; scheduled to be de-commissioned after Fall 2016.
- Linux Servers -- which will replace the Sun servers in the long term
- ladera.eecs.uci.edu: for EECS 22 and 22L, 111, 211, ...
- newly added: “bondi” and “laguna.” -- these are not yet ready to use as of 8/25 but will be announced once they are available.
- zuma, crystalcove
However, you do not automatically get an account on the server unless explicitly requested by a faculty by emailing dcs@uci.edu (Distributing Computing Service).
The file system is cross mounted NFS (network file system), so that the files in your own directory are visible across different machines.
To login to these machines, you need to use a secure shell (SSH) client, such as PuTTY, ssh within Cygwin, or ssh command from the terminal program of most Unix-like systems (Mac OS X, Linux, etc).
Web Server
Note that www.ece.uci.edu (which is the same as newport.eecs.uci.edu, malibu.eecs.uci.edu) is also the web server for personal web pages. To publish your personal web page, you can put your HTML files in your own public_html directory and make sure that you enable execute permission to your home directory and public_html directory, and world read permission to your HTML files. that is,
### create the directory to put your web pages
% mkdir ~/public_html
### make sure the web server process can get into your home directory (~) and your web directory (~/public_html):
% chmod a+x ~ ~/public_html
### put your HTML files into the web directory, and make them world-readable
% chmod a+r ~/public_html/*.html
### now your web pages will show up in the path http://www.ece.uci.edu/~yourUserName/yourFile.html
