[LON-CAPA-admin] Red Hat 7.3 installation fix

[hallmat3 at msu.edu]

Greetings.

We have found an error in the Red Hat 7.3 installation.  

This bug affects *all* installations of LON-CAPA on Red Hat 7.3.

The Mysql table which holds the metadata for published items was not created.
A script is attached which addresses this problem.  You will need to run this
script on your RedHat 7.3 server as root.  If you are unable to execute the
script due to a "permission denied" error, be sure to make it executable by root:

chmod u+x ./fixsqldatabase.pl

Email me directly if there are any problems.  

There are no security issues associated with this bug and your metadata table
is rebuilt every week, so no data will be permenently lost.  However, until
this is fixed and the automatic rebuild occurs, searching for resources will
not return any results on the affected servers.

Matthew
