- Updating documentation from the pre-Fedora days, where RedHat was actually referring to RedHat 7.2 (and earlier), and packages were assumed to always be RPMs.

2: There are three steps for upgrading the software on your LON-CAPA server.

15: <h3>Upgrading LON-CAPA files</h3>
16: <p>
17: Download the most current
18: <a href="http://install.lon-capa.org/versions/loncapa-current.tar.gz">
19: loncapa-current.tar.gz</a>.
20: </p>
21: <table bgcolor="#aaaaaa" border="1">
22: <tr><td><tt>wget http://install.lon-capa.org/versions/loncapa-current.tar.gz
23: </tt>
24: <br />
25: <tt>tar xzvf loncapa-current.tar.gz</tt>
26: <br />
27: <tt>cd loncapa</tt></td></tr>
28: </table>
29: <p>
30: The <strong>UPDATE</strong> command will refresh your filesystem with all
31: the latest LON-CAPA software.

34: <tr><td><tt>./UPDATE</tt></td></tr>
35: </table>
36: <a name="checkrpms" />
37: <h3>Checking your Linux packages</h3>
38: <p>Checking RPMs (RedHat, CentOS, Scientific Linux, SLES, openSuSE, Fedora) or debs (Ubuntu LTS, Debian)</p>
39: <p>
40: The <strong>/usr/local/loncapa/bin/CHECKRPMS</strong> command will check that packages (rpms or debs, as appropriate for your distro) are up to date, by checking with the appropriate package repository.
41: <table bgcolor="#aaaaaa" border="1">
42: <tr><td><tt>/usr/local/loncapa/bin/CHECKRPMS</tt></td></tr>

45: <!--
46: <a name="testing" />
47: <h3>Testing to see if the LON-CAPA server is operational</h3>
48: <p>
49: The <strong>TEST</strong> command will check the installation software,
50: the perl libraries on your system, the MySQL database, and
51: will also automatically test the real-time operation of the
52: LON-CAPA Apache web server.
53: </p>
54: <table bgcolor="#aaaaaa" border="1">
55: <tr><td><tt>./TEST</tt></td></tr>
56: </table>
57: <p>
58: Using the <strong>TEST</strong> command will likely
59: be an iterative process.
60: It is normal to expect that the <strong>TEST</strong> command
61: will recommend you perform various steps to ensure optimal
62: performance of your LON-CAPA server.
