That's the CGI version of PHP, not the command-line version.

Sometimes the command-line version is named 'php-cli' instead of regular
'php'.

First, back up all data.

Untar the archive. Run 'php maintenance/update.php' (with a real
command-line PHP; if the command is named differently use the actual
name.) Remember that for command-line maintenance scripts an
AdminSettings.php is necessary; see AdminSettings.sample.

If command-line PHP is not available, remove LocalSettings.php and
AdminSettings.php, and run the web installer. Give it the same language,
database, name etc settings and it will run the updates on the existing
backups.
