I did the svn checkout. I scp all files up to ibiblio.org/studioforrecording/ site. I checked, and all hidden files were transferred. I followed bavatuesdays' instructions, modifying as necessary, and achieved installation

I then ran into permissions problems, on the step two page. I received an email, and clicked on the link to take me to lyceum/wp-admin/settings.php, but get 404 error. I then got hysterical, and started chmodding directories and files, attempting to get permissions under control. At this point, I'm contemplating working through every single directory, and changing permissions to 777. Is there a better suggestion?

Here's an abbreviated run of what I did. It may not make sense, as I have not edited it for human consumption. :)
Use command:
#> svn checkout http://source.ibiblio.org/svn/lyceum/trunk

On personal computer. Next,
#> scp -r trunk tompoe AT login.ibiblio.org:html/lyceum1

site access command:
#> ssh tompoe AT login.ibiblio.org

cd lyceum1

lyceum1> ls
dev doc src tests

Next, cd src
src>
bin config installation lib lyceum

follow instructions at: http://bavatuesdays.com/?p=73


after all is done, I typed:
http://www.ibiblio.org/studioforrecording/lyceum1/src/lyceum/wp-admin/install.php in my browser, and the following message came up:

Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_CONSTANT_ENCAPSED_STRING in /public/html/studioforrecording/lyceum1/src/config/wp-config.php on line 6

I changed the following:
define('LYCEUMDEBUG', true); // from false to true
define('WEBREINSTALL', true); // from false to true

Without luck. I will now back up and remove tables from database.

I then reset the changes to define lines above, and got the same error.

I then went into wp-config.php and changed comment line on line 6 to ensure it did not spill over to two lines. When I reran install.php address in browser, the error changed to:
/public/html/studioforrecording/lyceum1/src/lyceum must be writable by the webserver.

I returned to the steps for changing permissions on certain files, and, instead of 775, I used 777, then refreshed install.php address in browser. I was successful.

When the install.php page came up, it had a link for documentation
http://www.ibiblio.org/studioforrecording/lyceum1/src/lyceum/readme.html
I could not reach it, so changed file to chmod 775, and it came up.

I clicked on Step One, and got my tables installed, and the following:

Username
admin
Password
[password here]

The link http://www.ibiblio.org/studioforrecording/lyceum1/src/lyceum/system-admin/settings.php
produced a 404 error

When I clicked on login link, I received a 404 error, and when I clicked the back button, it brought up the page that says I'm already installed. This means we need to change how the user goes to the site created.

Register link, logon link, logout link all return 404 errors. Chmodding stupid directories to 777
