Labtest Laptop Quick Setup Notes


Summer 2017, labtest laptop was set up to accommodate the laptops in WSC(William Small Center). It is important to note that students who are enrolled in 1st year EECS courses do not have EECS accounts. They use their passport york accounts for any authentication required.

This is a restricted environment with no external WWW access, emails,etc. To use labtest for the laptops, you would require to set up (a) web hosting directory and (b) submission directory for students to submit their work electronically.

Setting up the Web Hosting Directories and Files

Create a top level directory to host your web files:

% mkdir /eecs/dept/www/course/<course number> (chmod 755)

Create a “labtest” directory inside your course web directory:

% mkdir /eecs/dept/www/course/9999/labtest
% chgrp labtest /eecs/dept/www/course/9999/labtest
% chmod 700 /eecs/dept/www/course/9999/labtest

Place the files you want the students to see in the labtest directory:

% index ,php,pdf,.htaccess etc

If you need to setup initialization files on the users' desktop, Create a directory under labtest called “ltinit” and place the files there. You will also need to setup a labtest.sh script that will copy the files as requested. This directory should be 755 and group “labtest”. All files inside should be group “labtest”

In order for students to use a PPY account, you will have to place an .htaccess file under the labtest directory using the PYORK auth module. (AuthType PYork,PYorkAllowEveryone on)
For ltinit directory, you will have to place another .htaccess file with the directive “Require all granted”
