Cloud9 - csusbdt/322-2016 GitHub Wiki

Introduction

In this course, you will create a Cloud9 workspace named cse322 and use it for several assignments. The purpose of this assignment is to get started with this process by creating a Cloud9 workspace and sharing it with the instructor.

Video

I created a video to show how to do this assignment. However, you don't need to watch the video because the instructions are complete.

Instructions

Your instructor will use your email to send you an invitation to join the csusb team on Cloud9. When you receive this email, follow the link to create a free Cloud9 account. Then do the following.

  • Create a new workspace within the csusb team with these options:
    • Workspace name: cse322
    • Template: Blank
    • Access: Public
  • Open the new workspace you created
  • Click Share in the top right corner.
  • Under the Invite People box, invite peterwatson with RW access.

You will do all your work in this workspace for the remainder of the course.

Create a file named index.html in the workspace. Add some HTML content to the file. Make sure you save the file when you are done.

In the bottom pane of the Cloud9 window, open a terminal window if one is not already open. Issue the following command to start the Apache2 webserver.

apache2 -k start

In the terminal window, enter the following command to find out the URL of your website.

echo $C9_HOSTNAME

Copy the url and use in a new browser tab to visit your website. Verify that you can view the Web page you created (index.html).

Share your workspace with the course instructor so they can evaluate your work throughout the course. See the course syllabus to obtain the instructor's Cloud9 id. Make sure you give the instructor read-write privileges; they can not verify your work without receiving these permissions.

Submission

Send the instructor an email with a link to your workspace. Include your name in the email and the text Cloud9 Assignment in the subject line your email.
