Details

I've just encountered a case[1] where an extension specifically checks for relative paths in directory-type config settings and throws an exception if it finds one. 

Unfortunately we use the pattern "$IP/../" in quite a few places because we're following a non-standard deployment model. 

We already have a server-specific config file with secrets.php, so it's possible to re-factor and have these settings rely on something else besides $IP and a relative path.  

Depending on where core is expected to be in relation to $IP[2], we might simply be able to set it appropriately.
