Hi Mike, thank you for your response. Yes, I did see a long list of files been updated and at the end of it, it says successful installation. But I wonder why I cannot access the files. The number of tables in the database has been increased from 35 to 73 and I do see the details of each table. They are definitely not empty. However, I cannot view any of my articles on the browser.
Yes, maybe I ought to run it on my computer and see what's happening. I screwed up my databases so many times, trying to upgrade these last few months.
