Zend Framework and config.ini questions

I am using Visual Studio 2008 Professional and Vs.php 2008
Windows XP

I have been using trial of Vs.php and playing with the Zend Framework, but have been experiencing issues with many things

If I deploy the basic framework skeleton after creating project, it deploys all files fine, however this skeleton is pretty useless, and another thing i notice is this config.ini in html directory. Why is there a config.ini in the html directory? Don't we store database and other info in here? Why is it not in the application dir out of WEB ACCESSIBLE PLACE, and well in application folder, that is actually where I use a config.ini for my projects...

I say this because, after editing my IndexController.php now i deploy project and nothing in applications folder is now
getting updated, just the original skeletons is there..

So is this config.ini something for Vs.php? Is it the reason, i can't deploy new code? because I can delete files now in Application folder and deploy no longer creates new ones or overwrites. Project builds successful and runs in local test enviroment, and says it copied files fine.

    Hi, after i wrote that i had a hunch on the file copy problem and solved this.. Somehow the control folder is marked "Exlude From Project" Not sure how that got set, but it fixed..

    So I just have the config.ini question remaining.. I dont understand its purpose?
