 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.
