You replaced your config file when you upgraded so the variables that where needed for the 4.8.6 where not there. The upgrade instructions state not to ever replace the config file. Thus the queries that needed to be entered from settings that were in an old style config where never entered.
Manually use phpmyadmin and enter the queries by hand.
