Updating may require doing a data base update. To do that:

  • Edit the file in your mediawiki home directory: 
 AdminSettings.sample
  • Change the user name and password to one with full privileges on your mediawiki data base. Save it as 
 AdminSettings.php
  • Then run, from the command line: 
 php maintenance/update.php
  • Your path the the php command may be different, depending on where you are hosted. On Dreamhost, the proper command to get php5 is: 
 /usr/local/dh/cgi-system/php5.cgi update.php
