php maintenance/install.php --dbtype sqlite --pass WikiPassword TmpWiki WikiAdmin
Cannot create the data directory /data, because the parent directory / is not writable by the webserver.
The default in this maintenance script is documented as $IP/data. But, it seems this is failing and ends up being concatenated as '' + '/data', resulting in the fatal error about / not being writable by this user (as expected).
Workaround is --dbtype sqlite --dbpath "$PWD/data". Although that fails at first as well, because the directory needs to be created. Seems like something that should work by itself, or default to a different location that is writable.

This missed the boat for the MW 1.33 release. Provisionally re-tagging to 1.34's release instead.

Change 513732 abandoned by Anomie:
Fix installation failure due to unexpected dbpath under CLI installation
Reason:
Although since you've submitted several more patch sets at the other change, it's probably better at this point to just abandon this one and continue on the other. I'll go ahead and do that for you.
Hey there, should this be moved to 1.35? The cut is a couple of weeks away. If it needs to go out in 1.34, is there anything I can do to help get it out of the door?
This should not be a bug that must be fixed in time, but the patch is now +1 and needs someone to push it.
