WeBWorK Amazon Machine Images (AMI's)

Overview

After using a WeBWorK Amazon Machine Image, you will have a full fledged Ubuntu Server LTS system with WeBWorK, Apache2, MariaDB, R server, lighttpd, log rotation, etc. installed and configured.

Current AMI's

• WeBWorK 2.16 Ubuntu Server 20.04 LTS Amazon Machine Image: These instructions cover setting up an AWS Server with the Ubuntu Server 20.04 LTS operating system and WeBWorK 2.16 using the WeBWorK AMI.

After setting up, you will have a full fledged Ubuntu Server 20.04 LTS system with WeBWorK 2.16, Apache2, MariaDB, R server, lighttpd, log rotation, etc. installed and configured.

It is imperative that you CHANGE THE PASSWORDS for the OS user wwadmin (who owns most WeBWorK files), for the MySQL user webworkWrite who has access to MySQL, for the WeBWorK user admin who has admin privileges and for the WeBWorK user profa who has professor privileges (see below). Finally you should set up SSL (https) access to WeBWorK if students will be using your server.
