Hi Mike, thank you for your response. Yes, I did see a long list of files
been updated and at the end of it, it says successful installation. But I
wonder why I cannot access the files. The number of tables in the database
has been increased from 35 to 73 and I do see the details of each table.
They are definitely not empty. However, I cannot view any of my articles on
the browser.
Yes, maybe I ought to run it on my computer and see what's happening. I
screwed up my databases so many times, trying to upgrade these last few
months.

As has been mentioned before - if you run the installer, the installer
should have run the update.php script. I've never run the installer but
I assume it should have shown you the database updates taking place or
logged the information to some file. Did you see any evidence that the
database tables were updated when you ran the installer?
If you upgrade *without* using the installer, then running the update
script is one of the steps in the process. If you restore an *older*
version of the database, you also have to run update to bring it up to
the new version level.
I have
asked my webhost to do it. Will have to wait and see after they have done
it
to see if I have screwed up again.
If the update script was already run, running it again will not have any
effect as the script will check the state of the tables and do nothing.
Maybe you should install an older version of MW on your own computer and
upgrade that to 1.14 so you can see what's happening without relying on
something happening on a distant server. If you understand what is
going on with upgrades on your machine you'll understand what needs to
be done on the server.
Mike
