Benjamin and Tobias: thanks for your replies.
This is the first time that I do an update of my wiki and therefore I am
still not clear about what really goes on when I run index.php in
mw-config. To my mind there are two problems in my case, which may or
may not be related:
1. index.php is displayed without styles
2. the routine doesn't see the existing installation
1. Styles:
Does it really matter, what skins are in defined in LocalSettings.php?
As far as I understand it, LocalSettings.php is not executed during the
upgrade process. Only its existence matters, as it implies that I want
to upgrade my existing wiki. If it were read, why would I have to
supply information about the database, when this information is stored
in LocalSettings.php and the upgrader could read it itself. I thought
that the styles needed to display index.php properly were stored in
mw-config and in its subdirectory, images.
2. locating files
Again, I am not clear about what the routine does. To my mind, the
upgrader should look into the parent-directory of mw-config, ie. the
root directory, and should look for LocalSettings.php. The file is
there, I can see it, but the routine can't. Why?
And finally, are the two problems related?
Thanks,
Andreas

Maybe your URL configuration is tripping it up.
What does the error log say? https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:How_to_debug

Dear all,
I have a problem with updating mediawiki 1.18.1 to the current version
1.26.2. Since I have no access to the command line, I am using the
web browser instead.
The problem is that index.php in mw-config is read, but it is
displayed without styles. I am still able to select a language. But
when I click "continue", the next page is white. The procedure
doesn't find an existing installation, even though a Localsettings.php exists
in the root directory.
Please help.
Many thanks,
Andreas
