[users@httpd] Why is DocumentRoot returning an error

When ever I restart my 2.0.40 server, I receive these in the /var/log/messages 
log:
Dec  3 19:31:32 sm httpd: Warning: DocumentRoot [/var/www/html] does not exist

But, as you can see, I don't have a DocumentRoot /var/www/html
[root@sm log]# grep -i documentroot /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf
        DocumentRoot /var/www/sites/default
#        DocumentRoot /var/www/sites/test.net
#        DocumentRoot /var/www/sites/test2.net
        DocumentRoot /var/www/sites/www.media.com
        DocumentRoot /var/www/sites/old-www.media.com

Is Apache simply thinking that there should be a /var/www/html dir?  If so, 
why?  And, how do I get rid of that message?

Thanks
eric

Bad idea, in httpd.conf you can include files with virtual hosts
directives via "Include /foo/bar.var" even with regexps.

Maybe you should first grep for Includes and 
grep -ri documentroot /etc/httpd/*
the -r greps recursive ...

Have you completely searched your httpd.conf for that path?  Maybe
there is a directive somewhere else that is throwing it off.

You could create the directory, and see if the message quits.
