The global.conf file is the main WeBWorK configuration file.
| WeBWorK File: global.conf.dist | |
|---|---|
| Location: | webwork2/conf/ |
| Source code: | • HEAD (pod)
• rel-2.4.9.1 (pod) |
Seed variables
Set these variables to correspond to your configuration and preferences. You will need to restart the webserver to reset the variables in this section.
| Variable name | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|
| $webwork_url | "/webwork2" | URL of WeBWorK handler. If WeBWorK is to be on the web server root, use "". Using "" may not work so we suggest sticking with "/webwork2". |
| $server_root_url | "" | e.g. http://webwork.yourschool.edu |
| $server_userID | "" | e.g. www-data |
| $server_groupID | "" | e.g. wwdata |
TODO: Clarify this: In the apache configuration file (often called httpd.conf) you will find
User wwadmin --- this is the $server_userID -- of course it may be wwhttpd or some other name
Group wwdata --- this is the $server_groupID -- this will have different names also
Root directory of PG.
$pg_dir = "/opt/webwork/pg";
URL and path to htdocs directory.Uncomment the second line below when using litetpd
$webwork_htdocs_url = "/webwork2_files";
$webwork_htdocs_dir = "$webwork_dir/htdocs";
URL and path to courses directory.
$webwork_courses_url = "/webwork2_course_files";
$webwork_courses_dir = "/opt/webwork/courses"; (a typical place to put the course directory)
