[Suggestion] add a check to installer to make sure it isn't run from /var/www/fog/bin

[A Former User]

I had all kinds of headaches (gdisk missing, scripts not working) because i pulled the fog installation directly into /var/www/fog.

The script then moves /var/www/fog to fog.prev which makes totally sense (moving an old fog installation) but breaks things when /var/www/fog is your download-directory.

I’m not sure i’m the only one stupid enough to over-“make-things-right-from-the-start” and trying to install it like any LAMP software, but maybe a check whether the script is run from /var/www/fog/bin could prevent others from scratching their head bald.

Wonderful piece of software btw

Don’t know if anyone ever ran into this before. But I guess it wouldn’t hurt if we check this first. Here is a yet untested piece of shell script which might do it…
