No, not "not able to find".

Maybe you punched a hole in your config to allow access to the file, but only in the non-SSL vhost? -- Eric Covener covener@xxxxxxxxx --------------------------------------------------------------------- The official User-To-User support forum of the Apache HTTP Server Project.
