    That's not Apache-centric though.  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
