Initial setup unclarities; proposing minor fixes

I installed munin-plot on a server already running munin, and I am a bit lost how to configure dashboards (DASHBOARDS_DIR) and others.

I managed to run the initial website (without data) by adjusting the suggested Apache2 configuration (it says <Files web.py>, should be <Files wsgi.py>).

Then I bumped into cgi.parse_qs (deprecated since python 3.2) having been removed in python 3.8, in favor of urllib.parse.parse_qs (see e.g. eventlet/eventlet#581).

I still get permission denied when accessing data, which might be due to reverse proxy (mis)configuration.

Thank you for your package, I hope it will be useful in the future.

Thanks for the ticket. I know I should really improve the installation instructions. I've made some small improvements in 59575fe.

I've replaced cgi.parse_qs with urllib.parse.parse_qs in 771b839. Thanks for pointing that out.

One thing to consider regarding permissions is that the user running Apache needs to be able to read the munin data files.

munin-plot is at this point mostly a tool that fits my needs. Installation and documentation could be a bit polished further.
