layers are not drawn

[Jeff Portwine]

I notice you specified your paths as /root/...   I am not familiar with your
OS or how you've setup your filesystem and thus I am not sure if /root is
referring to the web server root or your actual root directory but just in
case I thought I'd mention to make sure that those directories are readable
by the "web user"... whether that user is nobody (as is often the case with
apache) or some other user name.   I think if those permissions are bad it
would cause the behavior you described...

I'm still a newbie so I'll defer to the experts for any suggestions beyond
that :)
