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

phpshell?

You might still need to run update.php and without shell access, phpshell is one option.
The other is a clean install, restore the old mysql database and edit the two LocalSettings.php (merge them).
YMMV,

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.

I guess I'm a little confused on the terminology here; you said "upgrade a wiki", and as far as I know, I'm not upgrading my mediawiki to another version, just trying to run maintenance/update.php as per the installation instructions for an extension.
It runs the same process.

Ever since the new installer was written in 1.17, you can run the update process from the web installer. If you navigate back to the installer and it detects LocalSettings.php, you will be prompted to upgrade instead of install.
