    A quick search of the forum didn't show any previous threads with this topic.

    I'm curious why $_SERVER["DOCUMENT_ROOT"] is filled with "/usr/local/apache/htdocs" instead of the path for the particular domain in question. My experience with all other administration software has been the opposite.

    So, is there a way to fix this? And if so, where do I start looking?

    Thanks,
    -N

    PHP uses whatever value is picked up from httpd.conf.

    If you're visit a site via http://yourIP/~example/, the relevant document root as specified in your httpd.conf won't come into play and so the default will be used.

    On the otherhand, if you visit a site http://example.com/, the relevant document root as specified in your httpd.conf will be used.

    Thank you. That makes perfect sense.

    No problem - it had me stumped when I first encountered it.
