No, you're on the point.

I missed that you'll also have to edit the base_dir and html_dir
configuration files to have each of them with their own directory to
store their information in.  This way you don't have to edit Orca
and only modify the configuration files.

I would set up a directory structure like this:

public_html/orca/index.html         This just lists your groups and has
                                    links to the group directories.  There
                                    are no other HTML files in this
                                    directory.

public_html/orca/group1             This is the directory that contains
                                    the index.html and all the normal
                                    files for a single Orca run.
public_html/orca/group1/index.html  This is Orca's standard index.html file.

public_html/orca/group2             This is the directory that contains
                                    the index.html and all the normal
                                    files for a single Orca run.

public_html/orca/group2/index.html  This is Orca's standard index.html file.

Best,
Blair
