[LON-CAPA-admin] upgrade inquires

It stopped while doing the pwauth compile? that seems odd, since that
also needs to finish before the Mysql stuff runs (which seems to have
at least started since you list it below as having started)

Perhaps you ssh connection died in the middle of the run?

Hrrm, install.pl doesn't generate these messages. Looks like something
changed in how mysql does stuff. sigh.

Can you try this:

mysql -u www --password="localhostkey" loncapa

if you get a prompt type in 

show tables;

you should see somthing like:

mysql> show tables;
+-------------------+
| Tables_in_loncapa |
+-------------------+
| metadata          |
+-------------------+

And you are likely good to go.

If not we'll need to fix up mysql database.

But you should be relatively good to go (some STAT/CHRT functions, and
resource searching won't work until we do.)
