I am trying to update my wiki (wiki.polyinpictures.com) from 1.32.0 to 1.37.1.
I have renamed the .htaccess file in the new wiki folder, in accordance with this instruction:
- It might happen that the web-updater does not seem to work: Instead of seeing the initial language selection screen, you might see an empty wiki page, possibly with some error message. In this case it is most likely that your web server uses Rewrite Rules (most likely for short URLs), which do not show you the updater at mw-config/, but a wiki page at Mw-config/, with capital "M". In this case, rename the .htaccess file for the time of the update. Then you should be able to access the web-updater.
It didn't work, and I don't know what to try next. Am I supposed to rename some other .htaccess file? Are there other causes for this issue?
Thank you in advance. This has been causing me a lot of stress for a long time, and I really, really need to update my wiki because it's covered in error messages all the time and now for unknown reasons I am unable to upload media.

|---|---|
| MediaWiki | 1.32.0 |
