Apache2: Default Directory and good Setup Guide?

This is for Apache2, when the sever is installed on Linux, does it define
a default document directory? If so, how can I determine it? I looked
into the the apache2.cnf file, but I do not see any "
Also, is there a good but basic Setup Guide for Linux?

Thanks

It is in the httpd.conf for example in mine

# DocumentRoot: The directory out of which you will serve your
# documents. By default, all requests are taken from this directory, but
# symbolic links and aliases may be used to point to other locations.
#
DocumentRoot "/var/www/html"

Tried the 'DocumentRoot' command in the httpd and apache2 conf files, but
it did not work. I know that under the Win version of Apache, you put in
the command, but it does not appear to work with Linux.

Using Apache/2.0.55 under Ubuntu.

I am not using Ubuntu so I am not sure where they put the Virtual host
configuration, but I have a file called Vhosts.conf and within it I have
my configuration of all my virtual hosts such as


DocumentRoot /home/members/jond/transblucency/logs
ServerName usage.transblucency.com

allow from all
Options +Indexes



Hope that helps some
