[plug] Apache

[Tom Hallam]

There are several things you have to watch for:

1)	You must create the ~user/public_html manually.
2)	The directory access must be so that the user that http runs as can
read the file.  ie "other = read"
3)	If you have set the default access in srm.conf to deny all (you
should - see security note in apache doco)  then you must explicitly
enable access to the public_html directory
