Since we require users to copy over LocalSettings.php, I imagine its somewhat common for people to copy it over using their user credentials instead of apache's, and have the file unreadable by apache. When this happen, php fatals and displays blank page. We should instead check the file is readable, and if the file exists but is not readable display some sort of helpful error.
