Mie, Traditionally the document root to your webserver is (depending on your system) /var/www.
This will be defined in the webserver (apache2/httpd, nginx, etc) configuration. I normally create a folder in my home dir called www and place my sites within that /home/lachlan/www/site1 /home/lachlan/www/site2 At a later point, you will need to set up your webserver to read from that directory.
