The problem
Recently, I was doing some work on the on a MediaWiki installation. For some reason I had all the permissions set up wrong.
The resolution

Guidance for Server, Ubuntu, Command Line Interface
Obviously, MediaWiki has thousands of files to change.
So first of all, in the shell, I ran the command from public_html directory:
find -xtype f | xargs chmod 644
That changed the the files. I then ran the following command from the public_html director:
find -xtype d | xargs chmod 755
