Pre-Assignment 0 - Hello World on Torch

Hey folks, this won't be graded, but I'd like to get started and ensure we have a development environment that we can use; so I'd like you to do a "hello world" for Torch.

The short version

  1. Create a (sub)folder that resides inside your "web" folder* on https://torch.cci.fsu.edu called "LIS5367" (for simplicity, ensure LIS is all caps and that there is no dash)
  2. Put a file in that folder called hello.php, with at least the following:

<p> Hello world! This is plain html </p>
<?php
 echo "<p> and this is Hello World php. </p>";
phpinfo();
?>

Note: Torch uses a particular convention for this that is unique (and pretty smart, I think.) Your files will actually be residing at /web/yourFSUID - but the more conventional /home/yourFSUID/public_html is available as well. The latter is a symbolic link to the former; i.e. for our purposes they are the same folder, so using either is fine.


  1. Ensure that it works by visiting the correct url, which would be https://torch.cci.fsu.edu/~yourFSUID/LIS5367/hello.php (for obvious reasons, clicking THIS link should not work)


— More info

One way to do this is with a file transfer program like Filezilla. More info available here.

For now, this will be all the info I give. If you run into trouble please let me know, and remember, this will not be graded.
