hmm, strange. php doesn't cache config.ini for our 1.3.x installations.
we even recommend register_globals = off in our sample .htaccess file.

for 1.2.x yes, for 1.3.x not. We query $HTTP_ENV_VARS directly if used 
as CGI, otherwise $HTTP_SERVER_VARS.

well, that's debatable.
1.2.x is per this definition "stable", even if 1.3.x is problem-wise 
more stable. of course as with every development branch new features and 
new config options create new problems.

You mean from 1.2.x to 1.3.x?
I'm really interested in the "make it work better and break less in the
future"... :)

imho, you only have to:
chmod 775 /etc/phpwiki/
chgrp www /etc/phpwiki/ /etc/phpwiki/config.ini

no change to http.conf required. phpwiki/index.php tries to read 
config.ini directly.
