It's based upon the layout of the operating system or control panel architecture, and it's not really all too common. I believe Plesk and Helm may use it, but by default (and in cPanel), your web files will normally go to ~/public_html/ for everything, and then HTTPS/SSL connections simply encrypt everything served from there when called, as opposed to non-encrypted content-serving on standard HTTP. Of course, getting into that is a completely different discussion from the post made by the OP.... whom, as it appears, gave up and took off when Tedd *hijacked* his thread. ;-P -- </Dan> Daniel P.
