what i was thinking is having an option to download the config.php file during the install. So instead of having tocopy the file, paste it, save it, and then upload it, you would just download it and upload it.
it would be simple to do, and is one of the nice features about other forums like phpBB.
i afraid about small bug cause we can download it for any forum.
no, it will only let you download it after you run the installer file. after its installed, and it gets to the screen that tells you to copy/paste the config.php file, then youd have the option of downloading it instead.
i didnt mean that you could download the config.php from any forum...
I've thought about it before. I'll put it on the list. Won't make any promises though.
well, thanks for putting it on the list 
just curious but why can't the forum/installer just make one for you and put in the right directory instead of all the copy/paste/upload/download?
But when the installer does this all automatically you must delete him, so the config file isn't overwritten and therefore you must still use your ftp-programe.
I think it would be easier to change permissions on config.php to 444, than copy/paste/ftp the config.php file and then still have to get rid of the install.php file.
theres no need to delete install.php whichever way you do it since it won't run if theres a config.php
Dr.Jeckyl: I asked Rickard in irc but he says its not worth it since most of the time users don't have permission to create the file

my windows server has no problem with it

that makes good sense.
why need a "Download config.php", when i upgrade i use the same config.php, when i install new forum i make it 1..5 by my life, it is a dangerous when play with config.php.
what?
i think it would temp others to play with the config.php file if you show it straight to them rather then downloading it
heres a little mod for you:
open install.php, find file (line:977):
$config = '<?php'."\n\n".'$db_ty...........
replace the "}" after that with
$fh = @fopen('config.php', 'wb');
if ($fh) {
fwrite($fh, $config);
fclose($fh);
echo "Config File Written";
}
else {then add an extra "}" to the end of the file
that will make your config.php file for you if you have permissions, otherwise it will just give you the normal output
