The config is at `/home/student/config/site.conf`. Why did `cat` not find it?

$ pwd
/tmp
$ cat config/site.conf
cat: config/site.conf: No such file or directory

A path without a leading / was counted from /tmp.
cat does not read files in subdirectories.
The file is gone, and config/site.conf is the right path.
The file belongs to someone else and needs root to read.
