General help

Moodle version Moodle 1.3.3 (2004052503)
config.php contains:
$CFG->dataroot  = '/home/myhomedir/moodledata';
$CFG->dirroot   = '/var/www/html/moodle';

I can upload a file just fine.  When I go to view the uploaded file while on the page

http://hopper.noridian.com/moodle/files/index.php?id=1
I get object not found error

My apache logs show an error
[Wed Aug 04 10:39:45 2004] [error] [client 10.22.2.19] File does not exist: /var/www/html/moodle/file.php/1/lmsscp.pl

But the uploaded file is here
/home/id07283/moodledata/1/lmsscp.pl

browsed the forums and did not see anything on this...
