- <command>DocumentRoot</command> is the directory which contains most of the HTML files which are served in response to requests. The default <command>DocumentRoot</command>, for both the non-secure and secure Web servers, is the <filename>/var/www/html</filename> directory. For example, the server might receive a request for the following document:
- </para>
- </formalpara>
- <screen><command>http://example.com/foo.html</command></screen>

- The server looks for the following file in the default directory:

- To change the <command>DocumentRoot</command> so that it is not shared by the secure and the non-secure Web servers, refer to <xref linkend="s1-apache-virtualhosts" />.
