1. Open the /etc/hosts file (or equivalent)

• Windows: Open Notepad as Administrator. Then open the file at C:\Windows\System32\Drivers\etc\hosts
• Linux/Mac: Open a terminal and run 'sudo nano /etc/hosts'

1. Add the following lines to the top of the file you opened:

138.26.49.45 rc.uab.edu
138.26.49.58 cheaha.rc.uab.edu

1. Save the file

• If using Linux/Mac, use Ctrl+O to save then Ctrl+X to exit

You should then be able to go to https://rc.uab.edu in your browser, sign in, and start using Cheaha. If you however run into any issues, please send a ticket to support@listserv.uab.edu .
