Step 4: Publishing Your Pages 

Publishing

Now that your pages have been copied to the appropriate WWW directory, you need to publish them. Follow these steps to use the publishing service:

1. Launch your web browser and visit the Publish! web service.
2. Select the appropriate radio button for Personal, Course or Organizational web pages.
3. Enter your userID OR course number OR organization project volume and click Publish.
   
   Note: If you added a section letter or other text to your course number when you requested a project volume, you'll need to include it.

Unpublishing

If for some reason you'd like to have your pages completely removed from the server (perhaps you've published your pages elsewhere), you can use the following procedure to "unpublish" your pages. Please note that you do not have to remove your files from your www directory to unpublish them.

1. Using an Andrew workstation, or a Telnet client on a Macintosh or PC, connect to your Andrew account.
2. Type the following command at the UNIX prompt to set your working directory to the WWW directory:
   
   cd / pathname /www
   
   where pathname is the pathname for course's project volume, your organizations's project volume, or to you www directory with your personal pages.
3. Type the following command to create the file that will tell the server to remove your files from the server:
   
   touch .unpublish
4. If you have a .notpublish file, remove it (rm .notpublish) so that your pages can be unpublished.
5. Use Publish or KWPublish to publish your pages as you normally would. The confirmation will tell you that your pages were successfully unpublished.
6. If at some point you would like to publish pages that were previously unpublished:
   1. Return to your www directory (steps 1 & 2 above).
   2. Type the following command to remove the unpublish file:
      rm .unpublish
   3. Use Publish or KWPublish to publish your pages as you normally would.
