 SeedDMS allows various kinds of installations with very individual layouts
 on disc. The proposed layout till version 5.1.6 was as the following:

 protected by an .htaccess file. The .htaccess file has been shipped, but it
 is far better to keep senѕitive data out of the document root in the first

 As MS Windows does not support soft links, this change will only apply to Linux/Unix
 systems. MS Windows users just skip all the soft links and set seeddms-5.1.x
 as the document root. The new layout is the following:
