This is exactly the issue!!

Now I could be wrong here but I would swear that this used to work 
correctly (like the Raq4) in *very* early releases of BQ!  I *think* 
this broke with an httpd update from CentOS or it could of been when we 
started using CentOS (that long ago).

It has to be a config setting somewhere although I'm wondering about 
Thomas's find that suexec seems to be compiled with a wrong document 
root!?  Can suexec's document root be set via a variable without 
recompiling?

Sorry for questions and not answers, I am a few days away from a big 
charity marathon I organise and don't have any time.
