Installing and upgrading help

I find myself bouncing around in various threads now and wanted to suggest we start a Lycos thread.

Myself, I manage to get over the path dependencies with setting an absolute path suggested inthe config.php's below.

However, I am unable to get things running after setting short_open_tag to On in an .htaccess. Unfortuantely, setting the variable results in an unnumbered server error. The vanilla lib/htaccess gives 500 errors--I'm guessing for setting hte file upload variable.

Some of us have things working, however, so take heart! (See http://members.lycos.co.uk/strion/moodle/).

If I get time I'm going to maybe hack a wrapper for the redirect stuff and add a config variable to config.php, but don't hold your breath or let me stand in the way if you're a PHP person. Someone feel free to file a bug on it if there's not already one.
