--- Comment #4 from Olivier Finlay Beaton <olivier.bea...@gmail.com> 2011-09-22 21:07:48 UTC --- Wordpress uses a fallback chain. If it can write directly to the filesystem, it uses that. After that it tries to do various ftp access. Then shell access. Then says you're on your own (do it yourself). And in the case of wordpress you definitely just search for a plugin/extension, and click 'install'. The whole "but it's untrusted php!" is kind of a moot point, you're already asking the user to go download that same php and install it, untrusted and all. I see your point about the whole Web config angle, a mysql table or something would be infinitely better even if for now we are stuck to Extension:Configure. I have heard of bugs mentioning rewrite incoming though... For the problem with the webserver, would it be possible to have the webserver change the owner/perms to the owner/perms of all the other files? To 'gift' the files if you will. I'm not well versed in this on windows or linux. Because of Daniel's point on a web config not needing to touch the filesystem, I'll agree and say this isn't really a problem that needs solving.
