Installing WeBWorK from a Virtual Machine Image
Contents
Overview
After installing from a WeBWorK Virtual Machine Image, you will have a full fledged Ubuntu Server LTS system with WeBWorK, Apache2, MySQL, R server, lighttpd, log rotation, etc. installed and configured. If your network uses DHCP, networking will be automatically configured for your system. If it uses static IP addresses, you will have to configure networking. Also it is imperative that you CHANGE THE DEFAULT PASSWORDS for the OS users root
and wwadmin
(which has sudo privileges), for the MySQL users root
and webworkWrite
, and for the WeBWorK user admin
which has professor privileges. See the specific instructions below.
