Set at moderate difficulty because this will be tedious to address in core and its plugins.

Title changed from start using get_config() rather than direct access of $CONFIG global to add elgg_get_config() and elgg_set_config() for accessing $CONFIG global by cash on 40831813-06-03

Need to check into the difference between datalist and config tables for this.

I noticed that the config table has a site_guid parameter. Why aren't we just using metadata for this? Is there even a need for the config table at all?

cash wrote on 40831877-10-24

We have datalist for install specific settings, config for site specific settings, private settings on the site objects, and metadata on the site objects. A little redundancy?

Config is different from every other table in that all of its values are stored as serialized data. I don't know if that is even required.

Metadata is used to store the site email address and plugin information.

Private settings are not used.

Could it have been a bootstrapping related issue? Something preventing the site object from being loaded early in the boot sequence?
