Assuming you have a backup of your database and you've put the new software
in place:
1. Make a copy of your current LocalSettings.php, then rename it to
LocalSettingshold.php
2. Chmod 777 your config folder
3. Visit site to run the setup--for example www.yoursite.com/config and
answer the questions.
4. Move the newly created config/LocalSettings.php file into your main wiki
folder
5. Chmod 600 your config folder
6. If necessary put any custom settings back into the new LocalSettings.php
http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Help:Installation is a rich resource for this
process.
Good Luck
