[mythtv-users] correct mythweb setup

[Robin Smith]

Whether its a sim link or not does not matter to the actual running of the
mythweb. There are other "quirks" to the correct running of mythweb, but
this ain't one of them.

Further, I don't really get the logic of doing the sim link (two folders to
maintain). As long as the folder with the mythweb files appears under your
Apache's document root, Apache will be able to serve the files.
The special attention refered to could be that:
1. You will want to make sure permissions on the folder are correct for
Apache to serve;
2. You may (should) want to password protect your mythweb if its visible to
the outside world
3. You'll need to change your php config to allow ur file-access (in
php.iniset "allow_url_fopen = On")
Other than that, it works like a charm.
