Answers.Text: After making the changes in the install file (and removing the +'s and -'s by each line) it accepted my DB configuration changes and installed like as expected. Thank you Kevin!

Body: <p>I can't get past the install page (/wp-admin/admin.php?page=civicrm-install). The installer prepopulates to my WordPress DB settings and won't take the CiviCRM DB settings I put in. I input the MySQL server, username, password and DB settings and hit the Re-check Requirements button and it fails. Below it shows the Database details, not with the data I input in the fields above but rather with the original WordPress DB server and database.</p>
  
  <p>Is there any way to change the "default" values that the page is coming up with or install without using the installer? I didn't find any tricks around this problem. This is a WordPress Multisite network installed on AWS (Ubuntu 14.04/WP 4.6.1/CiviCRM 4.7.11).
