Im using Version 1.15 (sorry, I did not mention that) So I am running through these steps:
Web (MediaWiki 1.16 and earlier) In MediaWiki 1.16 and earlier, you can upgrade the wiki by re-running the web installer<http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Installing_MediaWiki#Run_the_installation_script>. To do this, I follow these steps: 1. Rename *LocalSettings.php* to *LocalSettings.old.php* 2. Make the *config* directory writable by the web server 3. Make sure the database user has full rights to the database 4. Browse to the wiki and start the installer Fill in the form fields with the same values as was done during the previous version's installation.When the installation process starts, the script will detect existing MediaWiki tables, and upgrade their schema.When this is complete, a new * LocalSettings.php* will be generated. 5. Delete the new configuration file (*LocalSettings.php*) 6. Rename *LocalSettings.old.php* back to *LocalSettings.php* 7. Restore permissions on the *config* directory So all what i get is a new LocalSettings.php and no update. U can call me "Frank" but this really does not work for me.
