install / path questions

Hi guys - Geeklog seems awesome and I am anxious to test it out on my website. I ran the install and expect I am having trouble with the paths in the config file. The install appeared to go fine, however when I run the index page, I get the following message:
"Unfortunately, an error has occurred rendering this page. Please try again later."
OK, here are my questions on the file locations:
1) I locate the contents of the public_html directory at my website root directory so if I wanted to locate the index.php from the public_html directory, it'd be at http://www.mywebsite.com/index.php
2) I then locate the following files/directiories one level up from my website root (from where i put the index.php file) so that they are protected from general public access:
backups,
data,
language,
logs,
plugins,
sql,
system &
config.php ...
I cant locate the logs directory here because my host has a directory called logs that is not writable (and cant chmod). so I created a subdirectory called "geeklog" and put all these files within it ... so it is essentially at the same level as mywebsite.com
3) the paths in config.php should therefore be:
$_CONF['path'] = '/hsphere/local/home/username/geeklog/';
$_CONF['path_html'] = $_CONF['path'];

Close.
$_CONF['path_html'] = '/hsphere/local/home/username/public_html'; // or htdocs whatever is your root.
And you have to use the correct path for config.php in lib-common.php
