I am trying to update my 1.16.1 MediaWiki Wiki to 1.16.5 at wiki.waesir.com through my SimpleScripts account install manager, but I am encountering this error:

"Server Configuration Error We have tried everything we could, but we can't seem to sync up with your web server. This could be DNS related or a Server Error, or perhaps you have a custom header (PHP or .htaccess) or are part of a "Cash for Domain Parking" program."

I don't do a cash for domain program, and I haven't altered any custom header to my knowledge. My webhost told me to rename .htaccess to .htaccess.old and try again, but the upgrade gave me the exact same error message.

What does it mean with "custom header"? Sure, you can set header data with PHP, but why does that influence their update script? All I can say is that this error message does not come from MediaWiki.

If you also have Shell- or FTP-access to the server, you should be able to do the update without using this buggy installer by following the instructions on Upgrading.
