[fixed] excluding hidden files/dir from access testing

[bess]

during the installation :

Write permission in destination directory
The HTTP process must be able to write to the destination directory (and to all files and directories beneath it) in order to install files. We do not have write permission to (at least) D:\www\forge2/.git/objects/00/620e7a55aa9b436e7c2e67e9bc2e65e8156229

we shouldn't test all files and directory which names start with a dot :

.htaccess
.htpasswd <- dear anonymous reader: don't be stupid... don't let this file in your web directory
.svn
.git
.directory
....

the quick fix for me was to move the .git directory during the installation.

for the most part I agree.
However, the .htaccess one prolly should be an exception

Having the .htaccess writeable by the php's process is a security flaw (my opinion)

[calguy1000]

yes, but during installation, testing for it (if it exists, it should be writable). is another question.

After installation is a different story.

so, okay for the .htaccess file (as an exception) but for every other files/directory ?

[calguy1000]

fixed as described (with the exception).
