Generally you can just copy over the LocalSettings.php file and the db, and it will just work (Also the images/ directory if you have uploads, and any extensions you use)

You may have to adjust $wgServer if your domain changes and $wgScriptPath/$wgArticlePath if the other part of the url changes. Along with anything else that changes (e.g. if your db server/password/user changes, change that)

Be sure to run the update.php to update the db once you changed to the new version of MediaWiki.
