It's no longer necessary to remove LocalSettings.php to upgrade a wiki using the web installer. Just navigate to mw-config/index.php and follow the instructions.

AFAIK if you only have ftp access you can rename your LocalSettings.php, install your wiki once again and move back LocalSettings.php

Hi,
Lots of extensions require me to issue a shell command:
php maintenance/update.php
...but I don't have shell access to my mediawiki installation; I only have FTP access.
So far I haven't needed to deploy any extensions that required this, but now I am wanting to deploy several extensions that have this requirement in their installation procedure.
How do people typically deal with this?
Why does this script need to be run from the shell and not from an administrative UI?
Thanks.
