Hi

I use the multi-server config.php technique. http://www.inmostlight.org/2007/11/configuring-expression-engine-for-multiple-servers

Sometimes my config.php gets overwritten by the actual values that the PHP variables produce, e.g.
```
$conf['tmpl_file_basepath'] = "/Users/admin/Sites/archival.dev/public/system/template_files";
$conf['theme_folder_path'] = "/Users/admin/Sites/archival.dev/public/themes";
$conf['theme_folder_url'] = "http://archival.dev/themes";
$conf['captcha_path'] = "/Users/admin/Sites/archival.dev/public/images/captchas";
```
Any idea what could do this?

Thanks,
Richard

No idea, unless some sort of other config.php change was making a change and converted the rest of them.. might that have happened?
