Rodrigo, 

When you run ./install.pl inside the installation directory, the current 
LON-CAPA application should be downloaded and uncompressed/untarred in the 
/root directory. 

If you cd /root you should see a directory: 

loncapa-2.0.2 

If you do the following: 

cd /root/loncapa-2.0.2 

you will be able to use 

./UPDATE 

to install LON-CAPA. 


If you do not see a loncapa-2.0.2 directory in /root then it means one of 
the following: 

1. the ./install.pl script did not run,  or
2. the current version of loncapa was not successfully retrieved from 
http://install.loncapa.org 

In the case of (1) you should enter the installation directory and use 

./install.pl 

to run the script.  Note: if this has already run, and you re-run it, the 
script will report that user www already exists when trying useradd, and 
will also report an error when setting the MySQL password because it will 
have already been set. 


In the case of (2) you should do the following: 

cd /root 

wget http://install.loncapa.org/versions/loncapa-2.0.2.tar.gz 

tar zxf loncapa-2.0.2.tar.gz 

cd loncapa-2.0.2 

./UPDATE
