Since it mentions "Permission denied" my first thought is that maybe your server
doesn't have permission to read the LocalSettings.php file?

Subject: Re: [Mediawiki-l] Upgrading Mediawiki
Hi, I just tried to upgrade one of my smaller websites from 1.12 to 1.14.
Now the site is down. The error message is:
*Warning*: require_once(/home/ekomrinf/public_html/mywiki/LocalSettings.php)
[
function.require-once<http://teknologi-maklumat.com/mywiki/function.requ…]e>]:

/home/ekomrinf/public_html/mywiki/includes/WebStart.php* on line *113*
*Fatal error*: require_once()
[
function.require<http://teknologi-maklumat.com/mywiki/function.require&g…]e>]:

(include_path='.:/usr/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php') in *
/home/ekomrinf/public_html/mywiki/includes/WebStart.php* on line *113
*Doesn't look very serious, though. How do I solve it?

Hi Christensen, thank you very much for your reply. I
did point to the new
database in LocalSettings.php but it didn't work for me. Tried it three
times.
Extreme phobia began about a year back when Siteground could not help me
restore with two of their backups, even though they charge me for it, and I
thought that one full year of hard work had gone down the drain. At that
time, I thought I would not continue doing websites because if it were 10
years of effort, I would have jumped up through the window, LOL. Didn't
touch my website for quite many weeks after that, even though Siteground
somehow or rather manage to restore it eventually after I told them that I
am giving up on websites.
Anyway, I will take a plunge and try Mike's proposal. No confidence in
backups these days, I know the fear is illogical. Maybe arming myself with 3
different copies will reduce the risk.

I am using a shared server and I do not have access to running the
upgrade.php.

Did you two run upgrade.php from the maintenance
folder on your databases?
And naming your database something new as long as your LocalSettings.php
points to it shouldn't cause any problems.
Good luck!
