Hello,

what does <Directory />
stand for? Is this the DirectoryRoot
or the ServerRoot?

Thanks and bye,
Werner.

No.  You are perhaps confusing with <Location /> which does represent the
web-root.  <Directory /> is the FILESYSTEM root.  For example, in a
default install, <Directory /usr/local/apache/htdocs> would be necessary
to address the DocumentRoot.

Stands for DirectoryRoot and in this section you set up only the behavior of
the server part.
