Lyceum-users mailing list

[Jameson Lopp <fusion AT ibiblio.org>]

Hm for some reason the email I sent yesterday never propagated through 
the list server, so here it is:

The installation.txt assumes you are installing lyceum as the only 
application used by the web server. In your case, don't worry about the 
'document root' business, just place the lyceum files (the contents of 
the src folder) in a directory that your server has read / write 
permissions to and modify the wp-config file so that the paths are correct.
