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*:

http://teknologi-maklumat.com/mywiki/function.require-once>]t;]:

*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.

Good luck!
