The config.php file from your 1.9 installation should work fine but if you take a look at config-dist.php that came with Moodle 2.0 there are more/different options available (e.g. database drivers and settings). It's a good idea to map your old config.php settings to a new one based on the 2.0 config-dist.php. Horvat, Ana; Dobrota, M.; Krsmanovic, M.; & Cudanov, M. (2015).
