Installation
- Documentation on installing and configuring WeBWorK is available in
- the [13]InstallationManualV2pt1. If you are upgrading an existing
- installation, be sure to read the section [14]Upgrading an existing
- WeBWorK installation.
-
- Using the new 'sql_single' database layout
-
- The new sql_single database layout stores the data for all courses
- using the layout in a single database, reducing the number of
- connections that need to be made to the SQL server and eliminates the
- need for database to be created and deleted as courses are created and
- deleted. It also adds indexing to data tables, improving system speed.
-
- To learn more about the database options available in WeBWorK 2.1,
- including the sql_single layout, consult the [15]Database
- configuration section of [16]InstallationManualV2pt1 and the
- [17]DatabaseLayoutManual.
-
- Before creating courses using the sql_single layout (or converting
- existing courses), you must [18]create a single database and grant
- access to it.
-
- We suggest that you convert all courses using the sql database layout
- to use sql_single instead and add indexing to converted courses.
- Instructions are available in the [19]CourseAdministrationManual.
+ Read the section in the installation manual on [19]Upgrading WeBWorK.
-Help
+ Changes were made to the configuration global.conf.dist in this
+ release. Be sure to compare your existing global.conf file with the
+ new global.conf.dist file and make any changes necessary. The utility
+ diff3 may be useful to you.
- If you need help installing or using WeBWorK 2.1, consult
- [20]WeBWorKDocs and [21]WeBWorKFAQs.
