The WeBWorK Team is pleased to announce the release of WeBWorK 2.0 Preview Release 3. While it is intended primarily for testing, development, and evaluation of the new system, it is also suitable for use in live courses.

  • improvements in speed and efficiency
  • many user interface enhancements
  • improved course creation procedure
  • "remember me" cookie actually works
  • installation documentation improvements

The default installation for apache will use the same configuration, log, and state files of your existing apache. If you wish to install a separate, fresh, non-root version of apache to play with webwork2, and not mix up your existing setup use this sequence for installing apache into the directory /yourpath/apache. Note that the Makefile.PL command is all on one line.

lwp-download http://www.apache.org/dist/httpd/apache_1.3.29.tar.gz
lwp-download http://perl.apache.org/dist/mod_perl-1.29.tar.gz
tar xzvf apache_1.3.29.tar.gz
tar xzvf mod_perl-1.29.tar.gz
cd mod_perl-1.29

perl Makefile.PL APACHE_SRC=../apache_1.3.29/src DO_HTTPD=1 USE_APACI=1 EVERYTHING=1 APACHE_PREFIX=/yourpath/apache APACI_ARGS='--prefix=/yourpath/apache --with-layout=Apache'

make
make test
make install
