+This Debian package of Memories configures any installed version of
+Apache with mod_perl so that Memories is available through the path
+/memories/.  This is controlled by /etc/memories/apache.conf.
+
+In order to run Memories you will need to set up a MySQL database
+using the schema given in /usr/share/memories/memories.sql and allow
+the www-data user permission to delete, insert, select and update in
+all the given tables.  The following commands should work, if the
+database server is on the same computer:
+
+    mysql> create database memories;
+    mysql> use memories
+    mysql> source /usr/share/memories/memories.sql
+    mysql> grant delete,insert,select,update on * to 'www-data';
+    mysql> quit
+
+The configuration file for Memories itself is /etc/memories/Config.pm.
+You will almost certainly need to change the 'uri_base' parameter in
+this to match your web site configuration.  You will also need to
+change the 'dsn' parameter if the database name is not 'memories'.
