[support] big problem with drupal 7.19 on shared server

[Shai Gluskin]

Roger, sounds like the situation is unclear.

My assumption was that the Drupal root and the domain root were the same,
in your case public_html. It sounds like that is not the case. Drush would
not have gone outside the Drupal root to delete a php.ini file. So I think
my theory as to your problem is probably wrong.

FYI, since my early days of using Drupal I standarized on always making the
Drupal root and the domain root the same. In theory, Drupal doesn't require
that, but I have just been plagued by problems whenever I try otherwise.
I'm not saying that is your problem here, just sharing my (bad) experiences
with implementing Drupal outside the domain root.
