[EP-tech] Re: Upgrading EPrints on RedHat

	I'd suggest upgrading via RPM.  I believe you type the same command as if you were installing it to upgrade, but I'm no expert on redhat administration.

	Once you have worked through the issues, perhaps you could update the documentation with your process -- I think the appropriate page is: http://wiki.eprints.org/w/Upgrading_EPrints_3_versions, but you might want to create a new page and add the 'Upgrading' category to it (see http://wiki.eprints.org/w/Category:Upgrading )

You can query using rpm, or check the directory it's installed in.  Typically a tarball install will be in /opt/eprints3, where an rpm one may well be in /usr/share.
