The IFP web pages are maintained in Kerberized cvs. They can be edited on any machine. When you submit your changes to cvs, the appropriate web page(s) will be automatically updated on our web server within one hour. This means that you do not need direct access to the web directory.

In addition, we enourage you to use the template below for your web page. The template includes a top header with navigation bar, a simple bottom navigation bar, and a link to the Fermilab security and policy pages.

Please note that cgi scripts are maintained in a separate directory from html pages and will need their own cvs modules.

Modules and Templates

• IFP web page template as html and text
  Be sure to change the document title, which appears in two places.
  To get the correct source, save the text page above, not the html.
• There are cvs modules for IFP, DAC, and ADS.
• You can check the lastest list of modules with cvs co -c
• Note that the legacy CEPA modules are cepa, aps, dbs, graphics, oaa, psm, ROOT, and patriot.
• Be aware that there are also modules for the CEPA, AMR, and ROOT web pages.
• Common images (e.g., balls) are maintained in the images module.
• The Server Side Includes are maintained in the webincludes module.
• You can always get the complete list of modules with the cvs co -c command.

The cvs repository requires a valid Kerberos ticket for access.
If you will be maintaining IFP web pages, please send mail to garren@fnal.gov requesting that you be added to the .k5login file for cvscepa.

Access from a unix machine:

• Define CVSROOT to be :ext:cvscepa@cepasrv1.fnal.gov:/home/local/cvscepa/CEPA
• Depending on your machine, you may need to define CVS_RSH to be /usr/bin/ssh
• Check that access is working with cvs co -c
  This will give you a list of the modules in the repository.
• Checkout the appropriate module
• Edit your files
• To check your changes before commiting them, open the web page as a local file with your preferred browser.
• Commit your changes
• Be sure to use cvs update before making changes if you keep a checked-out copy of the module on your computer.
