A Guide to Using MediaWiki in a Hosted Environment

An instructional website by the developer of mh370wiki.net - a MediaWiki site about Malaysia Airlines Flight MH370.


Since starting this website I think I have experienced more errors and problems than in the previous few years! I intended to start with problems associated with the latest version upgrade, but other issues seem related to the website hosting, not just mediaWiki.

Here are a few recent issues. Solutions may be added.

I received this message after running some maintenance scripts.
