Even if you already have VuFind set up, you can run the install script a second time to make adjustments; just be aware that it will create a new Apache configuration in $VUFIND_LOCAL_DIR (while also making a backup of your existing configuration, in case you need to roll back).
 Your configuration overrides belong in /module/[your module name]/config/module.config.php.  Your custom code belongs in /module/[your module name]/src/[your module name], and it should live in a PHP namespace that corresponds with the module's name.
