Re: [Mediawiki-l] Can maintenance/update.php be run on shared hosting?

Hello,

here a step-to-step-manual for updating:

1.Copy the code of new version (1.15.1) to the server 
2.Copy the "old" LocalSettings.php to the new code 
3.Rename AdminSettings.sample to AdminSettings.php (in the new version) 
4.Open AdminSettings.php 
5.Set $wgDBadminuser and $wgDBadminpassword (often same as the normal DB
user and password) 
6.Go into a shell (e.g. SSH or PHPShell(see Google))
7.Run "php <wiki dir>/maintenance/update.php"

MfG
Jan

Hi Jan, I have never run the maintenance/update.php script before. I
always reinstall.

I just shifted to GoDaddy and I think I hit a time out when I tried to
reinstall my websites using Mediawiki 1.15.1. But when I just link the
new Mediawiki to the database for 1.14.0, it seems to work fine until
I tried to edit. Then I get this error:

A database query syntax error has occurred. This may indicate a bug in
the software. The last attempted database query was:

(SQL query hidden)

from within function "IndexPager::reallyDoQuery (LogPager)". MySQL
returned error "1146: Table 'malaysiandumm.tag_summary' doesn't exist
(malaysiandumm.db.4707958.hostedresource.com)".
