HTTPD-CONF editing

| Ok, I am a beginner at webserver management. All my previous
experience has been with the development of e-learning products where
the placement of content and files are specifically stated in
contracts. But I currently have been developing and uploading a
webserver at the house to be a training server where I can play
without embarrassing myself on the WWW. I am currently using a MAC G3
B&W that has been loaded with Fedora 6, Apache 2.2.4, mysql 5.0.37,
and php 5.2.1. I finally found good, understandable instructions on
how to ./configure, make, and make install for all the above and
everything went fine. My problem now comes when I start modifying the
HTTPD.CONF document.
As a standard, how do I state where I want my www root documents to
go. I found the location in the httpd.conf document where it is
stipulated, but is there a normal file/folder structure that web
administrators use to put websites that are hosted by that server???
do I make a www root folder or what???
respectfully,

The structure has to be 'right' for you, if it serves your purposes is
ok.

Whatever you want, if you want a /www directory, use it.
The Fedora default is to have a /var/www/ directory and inside it a
'html' one for html documents (the DocRoot) so you can keep cgis and
the like outside the DocRoot.
See the documentation.

I'm sure that somewhere out there is the right girl for you.
Unfortunately, I think "out there" is measured in light years.
