I have php/mysql hosting and they do not let me give everyone write
access to a directory. MediaWiki can't write LocalSettings.php to
it's configuration directory, so I can't set it up. I know phpBB
detects to see if you have write access, and if not it lets you
download config.php for you to ftp. Are there any modifications or
things in the cvs that will do that, or are there any ways around
this?
