Is it possible to create an new MW Database from an existing LocalSettings.php file with /maintenance/install.php
In
There is the parameter --conf . When I give an existing modified LocalSettings.php to it, will it create the database with the containing settings? I only need a new empty Database but want to keep my customised LocalSettings.php.
Last time I checked, no, there's no way to create the database with the existing configuration from LocalSettings.php. The install.php script is the only one that explicitly ignores the LocalSettings.php file
OK. What might be the best way to solve this task? Use install.php with parameters on CLI?
Yes. Use install.php as seen in the example, and then update.php to populate changes from extensions
