    Software

    The server (LLMP) is installed on the Raspberry Pi running Raspbian OS (wheezy stable). Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) Server is also installed on the Raspberry Pi to enable proper IP address allocation on the local network. The external hard drive is used to store the materials which the server will be sharing. Similar to browsing the web, Userve is accessed by opening the homepage of a browser and typing the Userve address in the address bar. On the homepage, a search bar helps the user to look for content like any normal browser. When a desired link is clicked, the index file of that web folder is accessed by the web browser and shows the homepage of the desired website. If the link is more specific however, the specific page in the folder will be shown instead. Users can also for services like ‘online’ quizzes and exams which keep track of their progress. The user’s details as well as scores are stored in an SQL database through PHP scripts and are cross-checked each time the user logs in.
