The way you've described your directories maybe a bit confusing. So, let
me make my own assumptions as to where the directories are and should be:
Let's say your original html directory is: /www/htdocs/
the url is: http://your.server.com/
your cgi directory is: /www/cgi-bin/
your cgi url is(as defined inserver conf): http://your.server.com/cgi-bin/
Now, suppose your msql directory is: /usr/local/hughes
Let's firther assume that your lite-enhanced html pages are in a directory
called yourdata/ and that there's a lite-enhanced file in there called
  yourdata/data.html
There are 2 places where you can stick this directory and access it
through w3-msql. The second one is the wise place to put it.
1) in your original html path: /www/htdocs/yourdata
2) in /usr/local/hughes/www/yourdata

When you invoke: http://your.server.com/cgi-bin/w3-msql/yourdata/data.html
it looks FIRST in your original html path and THEN in
/usr/local/hughes/www to find the file that's passed through w3-msql.
So, if you're putting them in the second place, you must make sure that a
file with an identical name doesn't exist in your original html path,
otherwise that one is accessed.

Good Luck.
