One of my earlier personal website with own domain name and hosted by Hostmonster was built using the TikiWiki module. At the release of newer versions of TikiWiki I used to get the message for upgrading everytime I used to login to the Control Panel.
I thought it will useful for others using TikiWiki and Hosted Web Services to list the steps down to upgrade. So, here are the steps:
1. Login to the Control Panel (cpanel) of your website
2. Click on 'Simple Scripts' - this is under the section 'Software / Services'
3. Look out for messages for upgrading the installation
4. Follow the instructions thereafter until upgrade is complete
I also noticed that I needed to upgrade the Database version too. Here are the steps for the same:
1. Login to your website Admin Console. If Database upgrade is needed, a message about the same will get displayed. A link for upgrading the Database will also be available as part of the upgrade message. Before clicking on that link, complete steps 2 to 5.
2. Click on 'File Manager' under the section 'Files'
3. Go to the folder that contains the Database files
4. Find a file with the name 'lock' and remove that file - it seems 'Simple Scripts' creates this lock file during installations and upgrades
5. Find another file with the name 'local.php' - this contains the username/password for the Database
6. Click the upgrade link (only after steps 2 to 5 are complete) and supply the Database username/password, as requested
7. Follow the instructions thereafter until upgrade is complete
