| Standard initial security configuration in httpd.conf: 
 <Directory />
 AllowOverride None
 Order deny,allow
 Deny from all
 </Directory>
 
 Could somebody please tell me, what does the '/' actually mean in the first 'Directory' tag?
 
 The root of any directory in the file system?
 The ServerRoot?
 The DocumentRoot?
 Or what?
 
 With thanks.
