Lehigh ISE / COR@L Lab Wiki

To begin with, refer to the basic information to understand about the creation of the webpages on the COR@L via WordPress.

We are in the process of migrating the webpages from the old system to the new system. This migration is necessary so that we can collectively fight back the hackers and avoid hacking incidents in future. In this new system, websites will be located at http://coral.ise.lehigh.edu/username (note that you do not need ~ before username anymore). We will direct the requests to the old links to the new websites (http://coral.ise.lehigh.edu/~username will be directed to http://coral.ise.lehigh.edu/username).

To create your website on the new system do the following.

1. Go to http://coral.ise.lehigh.edu/username/wp-admin with the username replaced by your COR@L ID.
2. Select lost password, enter your lehigh e-mail. This will send an e-mail with a link to set your password.
