[Wed Feb 12 12:00:16 2003] [error] mod_ruby: error in ruby
/tmp/showrun.rhtml.18210.0:54:in `exists?': Insecure operation - exists?
(SecurityError)

and in my apache:

RubySafeLevel 0

offending line:
if (FileTest.exists?("#{dir}/#{d}/L1/magos.log"))

How am I supposed to check if a file exists or not?
Ideas?
