 I tried to instally buddypress on my wordpress site which is hosted by
 twosteps.net.
 Activating the plugin worked, but when I started the installation wizard
 and arrived at step 3 - Permalinks - I got the following error:

 Warning: phpinfo() has been disabled for security reasons in /home/htdocs
 /wp-includes/functions.php on line 2848

 I could not get beyond this point and thus couldnt finish buddypress
 installation. My provider has a special focus on security and thus
 disabled access to phpinfo. Buddypress should not only check if phpinfo is
 available but also if it can be accessed.
