#2794: Updated install docs for mythweb
----------------------+-----------------------------------------------------
 Reporter:  rkulagow  |       Owner:  xris   
     Type:  patch     |      Status:  new

Component:  mythweb   |     Version:  head   
 Severity:  medium    |

 Some edits:
 the copy command example in the expert section only copies a few files,
 like mythweb.php and the .pl file into /var/www/html, which isn't the
 intent, because it doesn't copy the actual mythweb directory.

 the mv of the mythweb.conf.apache needs to have the trailing .apache
 removed in order for apache to look at it (the httpd.conf has an include,
 but it just does *.conf, so .apache doesn't match)

 Also, some spelling changes.
