It is not a random alternative to DocumentRoot, it has a specific purpose which is to allow a "variable" docroot based on the ServerName. It is used in the context of mass virtual-hosting, not whenever you happen to use any <VirtualHost> container (the poster who suggested that was mistaken). > > I did notice that the DocumentRoot in the 'Main server configuration' > section is /var/www/html.

If you're saying that /home/httpd/webdev/html and /var/www/webdev/html are the same directory, then; - one is a symbolic link of the other, or - you have mounted the same disk-volume in two places, or - some other clever thing In any case, /home/httpd/webdev/html no longer sounds like a plain directory under "/" so it is hardly suprising you get funny results. Of course, all this would be revealed immediately if you were to do: cd / ls -d cd /home ls -d cd /home/html ls -d cd /home/html/webdev ls -d As requested previously...
