Lyceum-users mailing list

[Fred Stutzman <fred AT metalab.unc.edu>]

The document root is the "base directory" where your files are served from. 
For example, if yourhost.com/foo.txt is served out of 
/users/bob/html/foo.txt, then /users/bob/html is the document root.  If you 
are to install lyceum in /users/bob/html/, you should set the document root 
to /users/bob/html/src/lycum.

Hope that helps,
Fred
