If the directory is the root directory for your server "example.com",
this will configure RED to be at the URI "http://example.com/".
-The contents of the web directory must be available at the same URI path as RED;
-in the deployment above, the easiest thing to do is to place them in the same
-directory.
+The contents of the web directory need to be made available on the server;
+by default, they're in the 'static' subdirectory of the script's URI. This
+can be changed using the 'static_root' configuration variable in webui.py.
Finally, the other .py files in src must be available to Python; you can either
place them in the same directory, or somewhere else on your PYTHONPATH. See
