   <h3>Testing to see if the LON-CAPA server is operational</h3>
   <p>
   The <strong>TEST</strong> command will check the installation software,
   the perl libraries on your system, the MySQL database, and
   will also automatically test the real-time operation of the 
   LON-CAPA Apache web server.

   <p>
   Using the <strong>TEST</strong> command will likely
   be an iterative process.
   It is normal to expect that the <strong>TEST</strong> command
   will recommend you perform various steps to ensure optimal
   performance of your LON-CAPA server.
