found on mwuser that it's related to your config / configs problem (seems to be on 1and1 hosts ?)
found this on fr.wikipedia :
Bon en fait c'est un problème de chemin relatif. Pour corriger, il suffit de remettre le répertoire maintenance à la racine du site :
* Mon médiaWiki est installé dans /homepages/12/d123456789/htdocs/mediawiki-1.7.1 j'ai donc tapé dans le ssh :
cp ~/mediawiki-1.7.1/maintenance ~/ -r ou si vous n'utilisez pas le ssh, déplacez le dossier maintenance à la racine à l'aide de votre client FTP favoris :)
which means : "it's a relative path problem, correction is : put /maintenance/ at the root of website" "mediawiki is installed in /blabla/ (almost the same as you, so I guess you have the same hosting company 1and1 ? ) "then connect to the server with ssh and type the command : cp ~/yourwikifolder/maintenance ~/ -r or move it there by ftp if you don't have ssh"
I don't know if it helps though (isn't your maintenance folder already at the root of your website ?)

also (currently doing that but parallelize) try google with "could not find tables.sql mediawiki" or related keywords :-)
