Project home notes
If there is a need to create and store a website belonging to your project under /home/PROJECTNAME/public_html, it is necessary to enable the x-bit on the project home /home/PROJECTNAME, in order to allow to access to the website under https://people.ee.ethz.ch/~PROJECTNAME. This may be accomplished using the following command, when logged in as the project user:
projectuser@host:~ $ chmod o+x /home/PROJECTNAME
