Hi,
http://wiki.cn2en.org installed and set the system to not auto accept registration but there wasn't any link to create an account so I found this: http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:ConfirmAccount I followed the instructions except for: Change to the MediaWiki directory and run: php maintenance/update.php The link to create account appeared (top right of wiki.cn2en) and when clicked on you can login or 'request one'. Clicking on that took me to a page that I could't see unless logged in but I found a fix - by whitelisting that page in the LocalSettings.php (that's where most of the adding extensions, customising takes place).Now you can view the request page however after entering a username and password you get the error:
Database error A database query syntax error has occurred. This may indicate a bug in the software. The last attempted database query was: (SQL query hidden) from within function "efCheckIfAccountNameIsPending". Database returned error "1146: Table 'cn2en_wiki.account_requests' doesn't exist (localhost)".
So I went back to the mediawiki website and found the extension discussion page, where someone had posted the same problem, but with a fix that I don't know how to do: http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension_talk:ConfirmAccount#Database_error
I can see the update file http://wiki.cn2en.org/maintenance/update.php but i don't know how to 'run' it.
_ My hosts are looking into it.
That error is on every page now.
Best regards, Chris

This file should be run from the command line, not the web browser. If you are using 1.17 or above, you can update your installation by re-running the installer as well.

Do you mean that you are upgrading from 1.8.1? If so, you might have better luck if you reinstall it from scratch; that's a VERY old version.
Hi,
I am using the most recent stable release, 1.8.1. I don't know how to enter command line (is terminal in mac?) I don't now how to reinstall it, and in doing so would only just get back to where I am now. It is the first time I have installed a Wiki, and I did it yesterday. I don;t know how to update php.
I do have phpmyadmin access via plesk. However I donut know what I am supposed to do in there.
Thanks for taking the time to reply, Chris
