Thread:Project:Support desk/Having trouble running update.php/reply (24)

Hi!

Godaddy does not offer PHP 5.3 on the shell. That basically means: You cannot use the shell to execute PHP commands with your Godaddy account. You can call that bad support, but that's the way it is with Godaddy.

I don't know how other applications (like Magento) work, but as far as MediaWiki is concerned you can still use the web updater to update your site (which then works without the shell).
