BACKGROUND: 

New to Apache, yet am the admin for my personal 
website. 


My hosting service is supossedly running 1.3.22, but am 

not yet certain.  


The default log files that were setup by the hosting service 

are located in /var/log/httpd, which is owned by root and 

readble but not writable by everyone else,

drwxr-xr-x    2 root     root    httpd/


I do not know if FollowSymLinks has been enabled, as seems

to be necessary according to:
