All right, that's true. And I would hardly recommend anyone to run PHP under root. I was just under the impression that you could give away your files without the need to be root. However, I still strongly disagree with the way you are handling this issue by keeping the user out of the know. The user expects the system to write the file itself, and I am certain more complaints will spring up as 1.17 become more popular. The installer fails to explain why the functionality has been removed, a functionality people have come to expect of installers like that. Furthermore, to warn users of such issues would probably make them inclined to fix problems with perhaps other installations of MediaWiki (<1.17) and/or projects that had the same installation behaviour. Why at the very least not tell the users what's going on? I certainly was confused why I was forced to download the LocalSettings.php all of the sudden. I assumed at the time it was because I was using a non-release and the functionality wasn't done. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug.
