QTI-IPS website – a whistle-stop tour of
support resources

A slightly different approach to project web sites
• Web site is an Amazon EC2 AMI (Amazon Machine
Image) running on a server farm somewhere in Ireland
• Temporary (memorable URL) http://cloud.niallbarr.me.uk/
for development instance
– At the moment that really points to
http://ec2-79-125-43-66.eu-west-1.compute.amazonaws.com/ but
this changes every time the instance is restarted.
• Instead of a semi-permanent information site it will
become a permanent reusable resource that can be
copied, initialised and modified as required.
Basic Features of the AMI (for geeks/IT support)
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
Ubuntu Server 10.04 LTS
Apache 2
Tomcat 6 (integrated with Apache)
MySQL
PHP 5
Maxima
I’m using an Amazon Micro (Free Tier Eligible) server, but
a higher specification instance can be used.
– Upto 2 ECUs, 1 core, 613 MB RAM
What’s on the site so far?

– Includes lots of QTI examples
