Hi Christensen, thank you again for your response. When I changed permission for LocalSettings.php to 644, it works but all my articles have mysteriously disappeared. Maybe I ought to execute update.php, as has been mentioned many times previously, although I set up using the Mediawiki installer. 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.

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

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.require-once%3E]: failed to open stream: Permission denied in * /home/ekomrinf/public_html/mywiki/includes/WebStart.php* on line *113*
*Fatal error*: require_once() [function.requirehttp://teknologi-maklumat.com/mywiki/function.require]: Failed opening required '/home/ekomrinf/public_html/mywiki/LocalSettings.php' (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! -Courtney
