As long as you enter the same DB details as before, the only touch it
should make to the DB is creating that user. It'll look and see that
the existing tables are already there. Backup first though, and let
someone else vet what I've said before you do it. It's the method I
use when upgrading, however.

in your browser, which will cause the install to re-run, as long as
you didn't delete the /config directory. Using your
LocalSettingsCopy.php file, enter the details & WikiSysop user.
And my DB stays untouched, right, so all the content (which is not a whole
lot just yet) is untouched, right???
The MySQL route may be better ...
Someone asked:
* MediaWiki: 1.10.1
* PHP: 5.1.6 (apache2handler)
* MySQL: 5.0.22
