Hi Christensen, thank you again for your response. When I changed permission for LocalSettings.php to 644, it works but all my articles have mysteriously disappeared. Maybe I ought to execute update.php, as has been mentioned many times previously, although I set up using the Mediawiki installer. I have asked my webhost to do it. Will have to wait and see after they have done it to see if I have screwed up again.
