Ack.  No HTML on public lists, please.

A virtual user is the user stored in DBIx::Password.  See the docs for
DBIx::Password, the Slash INSTALL, and slashstyle for more information.
The latter is here:

	http://slashcode.com/docs/slashstyle.html#terminology

A virtual user stores the database type, hostname, database user name,
database password, database table, etc.

Each needs a proper virtual user in DBIx::Password, and matching virtual
user in the httpd.conf file (which should be set when you run
install-slashsite, as you give it the virtual user name).
