Hi Jan Luca, can I run "update.php" from my computer? According to my webhost, I can do that.

Run from your computer, making the changes on the remote computer of your webhost? Theoretically, it can be done. You'd need to have in your computer the php cli installed, the same mediawiki files version as is in your host, *direct access to the webserver's mysql db*, the adminsettings pointing there and perhaps a copy of your localsettings. I don't think that's what your webserver is suggesting you to do though. The mysql servers are usually only reachable from the inside network.
