    Revert "Remove wwwroot from the database (bug #780177)"
    
    This reverts commit fb38dd955ceed3601da954dd5b2e55b682e1ac03.
    
    It turns out that we do need the wwwroot to be in the database
    because the code that sends forum posts via email runs in php
    cli mode and is needs to get the hostname of the site to embed
    in the headers.
    
    While not specifically mentioned in bug #794490, it was spitting
    out warnings in the logs.

Title:
  Storing wwwroot in the database: possible implications

Status in Mahara ePortfolio:
  In Progress

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)?
