Single AWS server installation using Amazon Machine Image

These are installation instructions for the edX Production Stack using a pre-installed AMI for Amazon Web Services. For other Production Stack installation instructions, see here.

• The public AMIs for the Johnnycake configuration release are available in the following regions:
  • us-east-1: ami-06ee2a6e
  • us-west-1: ami-0d393848
  • eu-west-1: ami-6d2fe51a
  • ap-southeast-1: ami-dc326c8e
• We recommend selecting an m3.medium or larger instance.
• After launching the server, ssh to it (user: ubuntu) and update the codebase by issuing sudo /edx/bin/update edx-platform release
• Once the update is complete, you can connect to the LMS on port 80 and Studio on port 18010
• Basic auth for the site is username: edx password: edx
• The default login is user: staff@example.com password: edx

Once the server is launched see edX-Managing-the-Production-Stack for how to manage and update the server once it is running
