There is normally a directory in /home called httpd, which contains the
default www.mydomain.net stuff.
Otherwise take a look at httpd.conf (can't remember where it is, type
"find -name httpd.conf" to find it) and that contains helpful hints. Set
Documentroot to wherever you want the webpages to start if you don't want to
muck around with Httpd.
Personally, I have httpd as a symbolic link to the directory on my Fat32
partition where my webpages are, so I can use them in Apache for win32 as
well.
