I do not think really that generating it each time is significant
overhead, there are just some variable checks and string functions. I
will test it with profiler tomorrow. Perhaps we might get rid of storing
it in the database.

Title:
  Storing wwwroot in the database: possible implications

Status in Mahara ePortfolio:
  New

Bug description:
  Basically this issue comes from bug #684190. Are there any
  implications of impossibility to change wwwroot once it is stored in
  the database? In the hostname change wiki manual we suggest people to
  clear this variable manually in the database which is somewhat
  complicated. In addition, protocol changes (upgrade to using https or
  downgrade to http) might not be considered as hostname change by the
  user, so database config variable will be left in inconsistent state.

  Do we need to keep it in the database for specific reason (e.g.
  comment says it used by cron, I did not quickly find where exactly)?
