I have the correct username and password in that file.
Do I need
additional info?
*Which* username and password?
Most wikis will need MediaWiki set up to operate based on two sets of
MySQL credentials; the normal use user and the maintenance user.
The first requires INSERT, SELECT, UPDATE and DELETE permissions on
the database; it's specified using $wgDBuser and $wgDBpassword in
LocalSettings.php, and MediaWiki uses it for non-maintenance tasks
(although some maintenance scripts which don't do anything fancy will
also use it).
The second is set up in AdminSettings.php and *additionally* requires
CREATE, ALTER and DROP permissions on the database (and possibly
INDEX).
(The other credentials come into play in replication scenarios,
external storage, common repositories and all manner of other
goodies.)
