Note Submitter: Anteaus ---- One of the most serious problems here is that it is hard to determine programmatically which of three or more possible configuration methods (php.ini, .user.ini, .htaccess) should be used on any given hosting company's server. The worst outcome is if an install.php routine attempts to set .htaccess directives on a cgi-mode server, in which case the outcome is usually a '500' crash. Once in that situation the php installation routine cannot be rerun to correct the problem, so you effectively have a hosting lockout situation which can only be corrected by manual intervention.
