    I have a website with a soon to be blog section (ie. http://www.website.com/blogs/)
    I originally installed WordPress but needed to have multiple blogs (different people writing blogs with different logins) so I desided to install Lyceum instead.

    1) Can I install Lyceum OVER WordPress or should I delete all the files and start over? I have not made any blog posts yet.
    2) If I have to delete everything, do I have to re-create the MySQL database? I only have 1 user for the setup of WordPress.
    3) I see that I can move all the folders in one directory so they are not scattered in my root directory (I like everything organised). Is that possible using the above URL correct?
    4) I also have Gogle AdSense (and other ad programs), can I incorproate that into my blogs to automatically put a banner ad or do I have to Manually put that in (code wise). If manually, can I put it in after the blog is written (ie. as an Edit in case I forget?)
    5) If I write a blog in Lyceum but I want to show that the blog has been updated on my front page, can I do that? (I dont need a full RSS, just a line that says Updated: XX/XX/XX, no article information, just a link to my blog area)
    6) I am going to also be adding a Classified section possibly and its supposed to integrate with an existing MySQL database, would this mess up anything with Lyceum?

    I believe I have most of it I just need a little help around the edges.

    My Blog page that I am trying to create is www.centralflbiz.com/blogs
    I moved the folders /src/lib /src/config /src/installation to /blogs (aka lyceum, I didn’t want people to see the name)


    I changed PRIVATE_REL_PATH so it looks like this now:

    <?php
    define('PRIVATE_REL_PATH', './');
    define('ABSPATH', dirname(__FILE__).'/');
    define('PRIVATEROOT', ABSPATH . PRIVATE_REL_PATH );
    define('CONFIGPATH', ABSPATH . '../' . 'config/');
    define('WPADMININC', PRIVATEROOT . 'wp-admin/');
    define('LYCEUMSRCROOT', ABSPATH . '../' );
    ?>




    I edited wp-config.php to this (I only included the top part)

    <?php
    // ** MySQL settings ** //
    define('DB_NAME', 'cflbiz_blogs'); // The name of the database
    define('DB_USER', 'XXXXXX'); // Your MySQL username
    define('DB_PASSWORD', 'XXXXXX'); // ...and password
    define('DB_HOST', 'localhost'); // hostname or IP of database server (possibly 'localhost')

    // You can have multiple installations in one database if you give each a unique prefix
    $table_prefix = ''; // Only numbers, letters, and underscores please!

    define('PROTOCOL', 'http://');
    // The web path to the base of lyceum (where portal.php is sitting), with NO TRAILING SLASH
    // Something like '' or '/lyceum' or '/src/lyceum'
    define('WEBROOT', 'http://www.centralflbiz.com/blogs');
    // The web path to the base of lyceum (where portal.php is sitting), with NO TRAILING SLASH.
    // Only change this if you are doing a non-typical installation, otherwise it will happily be the same
    // as WEBROOT
    define('SRCROOT', WEBROOT);

    // The IP address or equivalent domain name of the server (MUST have 1 or more periods - 'localhost' will not work!)
    define('MAINDOMAIN', 'http://www.centralflbiz.com/blogs');
    define('DEFAULTBLOG', false);



    I am getting some errors that it is failing to open the files. What am I missing?
    Thank you for ANY help!
