You're right! There were no tables. I deleted the admin directory and re-created it. I can see course administration and the admin course. I also changed the database host from localhost to our on-prem mySQL server. It's working.
Thank you so much for your assistance, this was a great help.
Now that webwork is running, when I try to check Latex packages using
/opt/webwork/webwork2/bin/check_latex
it gives the error below:
! LaTeX Error: File `amsart.cls' not found.
I tried a couple of steps found in support forums but they did not work. Would you know how can this be fixed?
Thanks again,
Harshal
