Description
It would be nice to replace the wp-config.php file with wp-content/wp-config.php.
That way, users could install WP by merely uploading the files and making the wp-content folder writable by the server. We'd have a screen prompt the user to enter the db details, and create the file on the fly via the wp-config-sample.php.
Old installs could be "upgraded" reasonably simply:
if ( !include (whatever) . '/wp-content/wp-config.php' ) { // check for wp-config.php in root folder and autocreate new config file // else launch wp-config file generator }

Actually now if you try to install WordPress with missing wp-config.php
you can create it via a web form, see the beginning of wp-admin/install.php and wp-admin/setup-config.php.
Note: See
TracTickets for help on using
tickets.
Your bug report is not well framed. By far the larger obstacle to having a HTML form based configuration is the lack of a HTML form based configuration script, not a file permissions problem (that sounds as if it's local to your installation since both wp-config.php and wp-content/ are writable straight from the tarball with me).
Can I suggest opening a new ticket, if one doesn't already exist, asking for form based configuration?
