Install in a lyceum sub-directory. That way if you ever install 
something else, there will be no issues.From there use mod_rewrite, if 
that is available to you.

WEBROOT is simply the directory that Lyceum is installed in. Above, that 
would be "/lyceum". You *could* install in the root, so just change 
WEBROOT -- I suspect to "", but it might be "/".


This post may help clarify. If not let us know what's still nagging you.
