The directory /var/www/html as the Apache document root seems to be the
default location when installing Red Hat. Found this on Google:

http://www.redhat.com/docs/manuals/linux/RHL-7.1-Manual/ref-guide/s1-ins
tallation-upgradingapache.html

"In the version of Apache included in Red Hat Linux 7.1, the
DocumentRoot is /var/www/html. "

I recently installed Red Hat 9 and this is still the default
DocumentRoot directory. Sure...you could make DocumentRoot just about
any directory you want as long as you change the httpd.conf file.

This could be one of those areas where I'm not entirely clear on Unix 
philosophy, but I think of /var as being for data of a more transient 
nature, and subject to overwrite on OS upgrade. Also, most distros don't

give /var much space by default. I consider /home and /usr/local as 
safer places for long-term storage.

I generally put virtual host webroots in /home/domain/http for 
single-site domains, or /home/orgname/domain/http for organizations with

multiple domains.
