Hi, I looked at the solution from the internet and found an answer at MedaWiki Users <http://www.mwusers.com/forums/showthread.php?p=30793>. It says to change the permission for LocalSettings to 644. Does that means that everyone can read my LocalSettings.php?
Anyway, it works, but to my surprise, I couldn't see any of my files! It is exactly like what happened when I tried to upgrade Dummipedia.org. So it's back to square one again.
