I don't have full shell access so can't run the update script 
directly. I used the alternative procedure of re-running the 
installer. I have done this successfully on several upgrades with 
several wikis. I don't know what I did differently in the case in 
question. The display after running the installer indicated that the 
installation was successful. The wiki is small (a couple dozen 
pages), so if, alternatively, I could recover the content of the 
pages, I could rebuild the wiki from scratch, but I'd like to know 
what went wrong. I do have access to the database PHPMyAdmin.
