Im using Version 1.15 (sorry, I did not mention that)
So I am running through these steps:

In MediaWiki 1.16 and earlier, you can upgrade the wiki by re-running the web installer< http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Installing_MediaWiki#Run_the_installati...
.
To do this, I follow these steps:
- Rename *LocalSettings.php* to *LocalSettings.old.php*
[snip]
- Restore permissions on the *config* directory
So all what i get is a new LocalSettings.php and no update. U can call me "Frank" but this really does not work for me.
To double-check: are you upgrading *from* 1.15 or *to* 1.15?
Whether you run updates from the command-line or using the installer, you do first need to replace the old MediaWiki files with the new ones. If you run the updater/installer for the same version you're already running, it'll just do a run over the database and end up not adding anything new.
(Yes it's not as convenient as the auto-update systems in say modern WordPress. We're still working on that one. :)
You should probably upgrade directly to 1.17 and skip over 1.16 (but be aware 1.18 should be released within a couple weeks, it's getting its incremental deployment & shakedown on Wikimedia's sites right now).
