Dear Ghosh, Peter and Sharat ,

Thank for your responds, particularly Ghosh's detailed respond allows me to go further.

Now, I put the lufe2o4.cif  file in the directory and deleted the old struct file in the working directory, went to the StructGen in w2web, it indeed sees a file lufe2o4.cif there, so I highlighted the cif file (by clicking on the round circle next to the file name - the black dot stays there afterward - means that the file has been selected. I then clicked on "Use selected CIF/TXT file" - but nothing happened- except that the page was sort of refreshed and the cif file has been dis-selected, so
 I repeated the operation again - by selected the file, and click on the button "Use selected CIF/TXT file" - and the same thing happened - I was not directed to a new (supposedly structural ) page. Does this mean that my w2web isn't installed properly or, is there anything I didn't do correctly? 

Or is there something wrong with the cif file?

Thank you,
Wen

Here below is the cif file - in case you want to look at it:
