mwiki_page_restrictions table erased
The page_restrictions table was added for an experimental feature that was never turned on. It was later removed entirely. Nothing should be trying to use it, so I find that to be an unlikely explanation.
However, any missing tables could cause problems. Can you ask your host (it sounds like you don't have command line access yourself) to make sure that they've run update.php from the command line and copy+paste you the output?
thanks, will report back when I hear something from them
This is what I got....
Hello,
The page_restrictions table is not present in the database so you are experiencing the issue. You need to update the script or upload the table to the database. Unfortunately, we will not be able to provide any support as it is a third party application.
If you have any further questions, please update the Support Console.
Sincerely,

Wonderful! Any suggestions? Should I just re-install MWIKI using their GUI interface?
I tried the upgrade again and got the following;
Upgrade failed! Errors are:
Failed initializing db (Broken pipe)unable execute sql fileUpgrade of version '1.6.5' failed!$VAR1 = bless( {
'postinstall_url' => undef,
'logo_image' => 'mediawiki.jpg',
'_errors' => [
,
'Failed initializing db (Broken pipe)',
'unable execute sql file'
],
'dbs' => '1',
'nugget_id' => '2740',

'home_page' => 'm:MediaWiki',
'installed_host' => 'nyloninfilm.com',
'prefix' => '1'
}, 'BL::InstallCentral::MediaWiki' );
The above post contained a lot of personal information, I've zapped it.
Unfortunately, you're reporting an issue with your hoster's scripts, and therefore we're unable to assist you. You could run the update from the web, see Manual:Upgrading#Re-run_the_installer. However, be sure to backup your data first be cause we don't know which alterations were made by your host and how our updater will react to it. If you're having unsolvable problems with a hosted wiki, try installing from a vanilla tarball instead.
OK thanks very much
OK - the latest.
I've managed to uninstall the entire wiki using my hosting provider's GUI, then reinstalled it. Asked them to import my last backup file and now I'm getting the following error message...
Warning: require_once(/hermes/bosweb/web247/b2479/ipg.MYURL/includes/WebStart.php) [function.require-once]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /hermes/bosweb/web247/b2479/ipg.MYURL/index.php on line 42

Does anyone know what this means? Any guidance would be greatly appreciated
