CSE Student Web Site

We run this special-purpose web server so CSE students have the opportunity to explore more interesting web programming concepts than our main departmental web server supports. The departmental web server needs to be highly-available to promote the department, so we configure it conservatively so our community's experimental programming doesn't crash it.

This web server supports:

• CGI
• CakePHP
• JavaScript
• PHP
• Ruby on Rails
• Server Side Includes (SSI)

The Navigation buttons are for:
