 * I have a 50% success rate with this plugin. The first site went flawlessly and
   I was impressed. Now I cannot get the plugin to work on another site. I am getting
   the “Unable to access wpconfig file. Please check if WordPress is installed on
   the destination address. Also, check if you have permission to access the folder”
   error.
 * I can FTP to this site with a brand-new WP install. I can access the wp-config
   file perfectly fine (opened it and viewed it), and the permissions are all 755
   on directories and 644 on files, with my FTP User being the owner.
 * The site is running just fine as a WordPress site.
 * The error message is too vague. It should say _specifically_ what it is encountering,
   like “hey, we can’t open your wp-config file for writing due to permissions” 
   or something like that. It appears that this is a catch-all error message for,
   perhaps, a number of things that could be wrong.
