<h2><a name="_Toc421867149">Introduction</a></h2>
<p>There are two different kinds of LON-CAPA servers, Library Servers and
Access Servers. On any LON-CAPA machine, you can look at the server type by
viewing the file <tt><span style='font-family:"Courier New"'>/etc/httpd/conf/loncapa.conf</span></tt>
and looking at the variable <strong>lonRole</strong>. </p>
<h2><a name="_Toc421867150">Library Servers</a></h2>
<p>Library Servers are repositories of authoritative educational resources.
These servers also provide the construction space by which instructors assemble
their classroom online material. First-time installations of LON-CAPA at an
institution should be for Library Servers (and not Access Servers). </p>
<p>Only Library Servers make use of a MySQL database. </p>
<p>On the filesystem, the following directories are used primarily by Library
Servers (and not Access Servers): </p>
<ul type=disc>
