Provision a WSU web server

These instructions can be used to provision a server with the WSU Web Provisioner, an open source configuration that WSU Web Communication uses to provision web servers on virtual machines running Linux.

Requirements

A familiarity with the Linux command line and a CentOS 6 server.

Web Communication runs several machines successfully provisioned with this configuration using:

CentOS images provided by WSU IT
The Amazon EC2 ami-05cf2265 image
The Puppet Labs centos-64-x64-puppetlabs Vagrant box

This configuration has not been tested with CentOS 7 or any Debian based Linux machines.
