Re: Apache document root too well hidden

How do you log in via FTP? perhaps the web server redirects to whatever
account you use to log in?  (ie, /home/userisme/html)

BTW, even though its outdated in Apache, the srm.conf as well as access.conf
is still read by the server for backwords compatibility - see if there's
anything in there, the guy who set it up may have an old set of conf files
he uses over and over again
