Manual talk:Upgrading to 1.14

What is not clear from the documentation is what exactly should be in the AdminSettings.php file. I am currently running 1.13 and there is only AdminSettings.sample file.

In LocalSettings.php I have set the DB user: $wgDBuser          = "db60728_zzzz"; $wgDBpassword      = "mypassword";

Should the AdminSettings.php use the same data for

$wgDBadminuser and $wgDBadminpassword ??

Also, if I am able to run MediaWiki w/o AdminSettings.php, is it necessary for the upgrade?

 * All maintenance scripts use AdminSettings.php for database user information. It is recommended that the user you specify is the root user or a user with the ability to create and modify tables (which your normal db user in LocalSettings normally wouldn't be able to do) -- Skiz zerz  22:52, 25 February 2009 (UTC)
