i couldnt find the php that was firing the homepage
the websight is a total bowl of yarn from 5.4.2.2
mixed with a bunch of custom code
...and a rebuild attempt in 2012 with a 5.5.3.1 install...
no one on the planet will ever see a backend quite like this
...no one ELSE i hope
the tidbit that solved it was asking the tech at my host [inmotion]
if he could search a text strong in the host directory
he came back on the line a couple minutes later and pointed me right at it
i scoured code all afternoon looking for where it was loading from...
