The `ugly` format uses simple variable substitution. A variable looks like
`!!(*= $this *)!!`. The variables are:
-* `vhost_dir`: the entire path to the directory where the software is
- served from. -- you should replace this with a path to the
- directory where your Alaveteli software installation lives,
- e.g. `/var/www/`
-* `vcspath`: the name of the alaveteli checkout, e.g. `alaveteli`.
- Thus, `/data/vhost/!!(*= $vhost *)!!/!!(*= $vcspath *)!!` might be
- replaced with `/var/www/alaveteli` in your cron tab
+* `vhost_dir`: the full path to the directory where alaveteli is checked out.
+ e.g. If your checkout is at `/var/www/alaveteli` then set this to `/var/www`
+* `vcspath`: the name of the directory that contains the alaveteli code.
+ e.g. `alaveteli`
* `user`: the user that the software runs as
* `site`: a string to identify your alaveteli instance
* `mailto`: The email address that cron output will be sent to
