So the question remains, how can I override PHP's opinion > of what the document root is (if at all)? Actually, that is it. PHP does not have its own version of that value. It simply loops through Apache's subprocess_env and sets whatever is there in the $_SERVER array. So if you set it correctly in Apache it will be set correctly in PHP. If it isn't set in PHP, you didn't set it correctly in Apache. -Rasmus
