Additions:
~-**Avoid mod_rewrite bugs** --- The most common installation issues occur because of a misconfiguration of ##base_url## and ##rewrite_mode##. Before setting up URL rewriting through ##.htaccess## files, the new installer checks whether (1) the server runs under Apache (2) PHP is compiled with the ##mod_rewrite## module (3) ##mod_rewrite## is actually enabled in the Wikka root directory. (3) is done through an actual rewriting check, because (2) alone is not reliable. Also, to avoid the frequent issues with the configuration of ##base_url##, the new installer doesn't allow the admin to change the ##rewrite_mode## settings during the install procedure and it assumes that ##base_url## refers to the Wikka root node (i.e. a URI terminated by a //trailing slash//). The decision whether to append or not the ##wikka.php?wakka=## part is moved to the link creation methods.
