I get following error: Database error A database query syntax error has occurred. This may indicate a bug in the software. The last attempted database query was: (SQL query hidden) from within function "User::checkNewtalk". Database returned error "1146: Table 'wiki.ka0e_user_newtalk' doesn't exist (localhost)".
Are you still on the 1.16 beta? Have run update.php?
> Have run update.php? yes, but I only see a blank page
Please read http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Upgrading#Run_the_update_script The update script is not going to work from the web.

(In reply to comment #4) > the only problem is that this script in on the hosting without shell access There are alternatives listed on the aforementioned page. In any case, your inability to run shell scripts is not a bug in MediaWiki.
If you rename LocalSettings.php to a different name, run the installer again with the same settings, then move your old LocalSettings.php back, that'll upgrade your database too. This is documented at the URL we gave you, although it could use some clarification and expansion: "The preferred method of performing the update is using the command-line maintenance script, although it is also possible to re-run the web-based installer."
I would suggest to rewrite the update file to let it run from the web sire and not command line.
Please don't reopen this bug for reasons unrelated to your report (that is, you received an error message because you didn't run the updater). If you want a new feature to be implemented, file another bug, but be aware that it would make little sense because there are ALREADY means to run maintenance scripts from the web, as you've been told. And we're currently working on yet another update thingie, http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Deployment
