No, neither of those should be touched. MW_CONFIG_FILE can't be changed
from within LocalSettings.php and $IP is the path to where the code is,
that should be left alone.
Variables like $wgServer, $wgDBname, etc... are what you would change. For
example:
if ( $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'] == 'a.example.com' ) {
$wgServer = "http://a.example.com";
$wgDBname = "awiki";
} elseif ( $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'] == 'b.example.com' ) {
$wgServer = "http://b.example.com";
$wgDBname = "bwiki";
}
You use conditionals to set the variables that would actually be different
between the installations.
