actually, it doesn't. man httpd.conf
chroot directory
Set the chroot(2) directory. If not specified, it
defaults to /var/www, the home directory of the www user.
...
directory
Set the document root of the server. The directory is a
pathname within the chroot(2) root directory of httpd.
If not specified, it defaults to /htdocs.
You are trying to serve /usr/htdocs/htdocs/index.html, and that is a
good 404.
I verified that I could chroot to my /tmp dir and serve a file out of
/tmp/htdocs/ with no problem.

and this is also wrong.
Your webserver should NOT be in /.
Your /usr should not have 129G free.
Your web server should not be in /usr.
You really need to be reloading that system with a less insane
partitioning plan. Then you don't have to worry about moving the
chroot. It can be done. But don't. Just don't. Not for this reason.
You need to upgrade soon anyway. Good time to rebuild properly.
