Tried one last time to update my wiki software and it backfired on me. It's giving me a Database Error now " 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 "Title::loadRestrictions". Database returned error "1146: Table 'mmodomin_IC_20100819_115331.mwiki_page_restrictions' doesn't exist (sql database location)"." When I add in the command lines $wgDBadminuser and $wgDBadminpassword to the appropriate LocalSettings.php it seems to produce an internal server 500 error when using web browsers to view the site. I've gone to the php script selector for my site and set it to use the PHP 5.0.0 new coding so the new wikimedia software would be compatible.
