My install experience differs considerably from yours, and it may have
to do with the hosting providers we use.

I'm not a phpWebSite project member. Nor am I affiliated with
Appalachian State University. I'm just an involved user.

Matthew McNaney and Brian W. Brown are in charge of the phpWebSite
project. What they say goes.
