From the CMSB 1.34 release notes:
- Admin Menu: Mysql settings can no longer be updated through Admin menu (edit them in cmsAdmin/data/settings.dat.php)
Why was this feature removed from the Admin menu?

Hi aev,
The reason is because it almost always breaks things when users change those values and users who are knowledgeable enough to change those shouldn't have any trouble editing the settings.dat.php file.
In order to login to CMSB you need to have valid database settings and know a username and password from the accounts table. But the moment you change the database settings your login no longer works unless it exists in the new database as well.
Hope that makes sense. If there's something you want to do or a problem this caused for you let us know and we'll try to help.
