Replying to [ticket:64371 bviktor]:
> In human language it means that PHP tries to write to wp-config.php, but
is (rightfully) denied from doing so, because normally that shouldn't
happen at all.
Are you sure it is not some plugin that is doing this?
> {{{
> cp wp-config.php wp-config.php.orig
> }}}
Note that doing that may be dangerous because it's possible that people
may be able to view the file `wp-config.php.orig` using the web server.
