Thread:Project:Support desk/Database error after updating MediaWiki from 1.5.2 to 1.6/reply (5)

Hi, I'm updating from 1.15 to 1.16 and I have the same problem. It seems that the entrie in LocalSettings.php are not used at all. The error message point always to "wikiuser" however I replaced "wikiuser" with "root" for $wgDBadminuser and $wgDBuser. BTW I'm using Ubuntu. Has anybody an idea how to get this update done?
