Hi, I've downloaded MediaWiki 1.6.7, backed up my database and its content, uploaded all the new files preserving the files that the Upgrade file recommends in the newest release but have run into a problem. My Web hoster "does not offer telnet or SSH access to the servers due to the nature of shared hosting. This could result in breach of data protection, and privacy laws." Is there an alternative option for upgrading? Thank you, Karen

Possible solutions: * Using PHP-shell: http://mgeisler.net/php-shell/ may work. * Renaming LocalSettings.php to LocalSettings.old.php and running the web installer again.
