Description of my issue:
I've had two sites that I've made backups of in the past week, and when moving those sites from my testing server to the live servers, I kept getting a 500 error after running through the kickstart.php utility. After hours of reinstalling and reconfiguring etc. it turns out the configuration.php is being created with double quotes (" ") instead of single quotes (' ') which is causing a syntax error. I have been using akeeba for a few years, and this is the only time I have had this problem - but since it's happened with two separate sites, I figured I would check to see if there is something I did incorrectly, or if this is a bug. I can't tell for sure if it's caused in the backup process, or in the kickstart process.

thank you in advance,
