Home Page

[Priyatham]

Hi, I am a sophomore at IITB.

I have two questions to ask.

1. Is it possible to upload our home pages from outside the campus?

2. Does the home page server support python like google app engine (or php?)

Thanks,

Priyatham

1) you could VPN into the institute network. Check details on www.cc.iitb.ac.in

2) PHP woks. Databases dont. So you can make simple rerouting scripts etc but wont be able to deploy something like WordPress.

I use the following procedure. It is slightly involved. You can use it if you
cant get VPN to work. Assuming you have a linux-terminal at your disposal.

Open terminal, and download the attached shell script, or better try this.

wget https://raw.github.com/dilawar/Scripts/master/to_iitb.sh

On line 8 change `netcat="nc.openbsd"` to `netcat=nc`. Before doing so, check if
nc.openbsd command is available on your system. `which nc.openbsd` command will
tell you. On line 25, change -ldilawar to -ladwait (assuming this is your
sharada username).

$ chmod +x to_iitb.sh
$ ./to_iitb.sh

If this works, then you are inside sharada. Now you have to transfer data to
your ~/public_html folder. To do so, you can put your data on github to some
other place and use wget/curl to download. I usually keep my site on a
git-repository on github and simply clone it to public_html folder. Mind the
proxy variables before using wget/curl. You may have to edit ~/.wgetrc file to
put the proxy variable.

If you use this script, let me know if there was any problem. This uses the
procedure discussed on this forum a few days ago (See the post, 'Trouble with
openvpn').

On windows, you can install cygwin and try it.

Anyway I am interested to know if you get openvpn working on linux.

Thank you Adwait and Dilawar. I use a Mac and I could successfully connect using VPN.
