Description:
Hi,
The attached patch (for 1.15.4, but should fit 1.16 fairly easily) expands the documentation for maintenance/dumpBackup.php.
Notably, it also hints to the administrator that --conf can be used to specify the patch to LocalSettings.php if it's somewhere unexpected, instead of just crying and running away.
However, dumpBackup.php script still fails magnificently if $wgDBadmin.. are not set. It should warn and fall back on $wgDB.., since that'll probably be sufficient in most hosting environments.
Version: 1.15.x
Severity: normal
