If you are talking about the global DocumentRoot setting in the Apache
config, then that directory can be anything you want it to be. Usually
people have it set to something like /var/www, but the default depends
on your distribution. After setting the DocumentRoot accordingly, you
can put files in that directory and they will be accessible when you
access the server via IP address or domain name that points to that IP
address.
http://1.2.3.4/ -> pulls from -> /var/www (DocumentRoot directive)
If you want people to be able to host files in their home directory,
this is where the UserDir directive comes into play. This is most
commonly set to public_html. The files will be pulled like so...
http://1.2.3.4/~username/ -> pulls from ->
/home/username/public_html (UserDir directive)

Hello,
I'm having a configuration issue. I want to put a directory called
"www" under a project directory. The "www" directory is where the
php code will go. I've found the UserDir directive that will allow
creating that under /home/username, but I haven't found one like the
one I want. Is there a directive for this?
Thank you,
Your question is a little unclear. Do you want the "www" directory to
be treated as the user's document root (such that
http://hostname/~username/ points to the www directory)? If so, then
you simply need to set the UserDir directive accordingly based upon
your home directory structure. Otherwise, please explain what you are
trying to do a little more.
