Wikier Posted July 19, 2012 Share Posted July 19, 2012 I need to run update.php file to finish updating my mediawiki. I cannnot copy the files on my computer and run it, as the .php file requires the database, which is located on the server. Is there any way to run .php file on the server?

Wikier Posted July 20, 2012 Author Share Posted July 20, 2012 So how can I run the .php file? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tjoene Posted July 20, 2012 Share Posted July 20, 2012 You just need to go to the location of that php file in your browser. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wikier Posted July 20, 2012 Author Share Posted July 20, 2012 I don't want to sound like an utter idiot ... but how do I do that? Do I just enter the map? And in which browser (internet, file, manager)? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anush Posted July 20, 2012 Share Posted July 20, 2012 @wikier you can type the codes in a php file and upload it to your space provided by heliohost , through FTP or Cpanel file manager , then just open any browser and type in the url to the file. if your website address is wikier.com or any thing, and the file name is myfile.php ,and its just placed in public HTML folder , then open any browser and typing wikier.com/myfile.php will run the file. I think you area having C++ or Java back ground , there is no complying here in PHP , or you must be new to these, dont worry the community will give u a good hand.
