A web server needs at least two folders:

• One folder is used for holding the html pages (static contents), in Apache's terminology such a folder called as Document Root;

• One folder is used for holding the scripts (dynamic contents) and in Apache's terminology such a folder called as cgi-bin.

By default installation:

• The Document Root will be C:\Program Files\Apache Group\Apache2\htdocs for Apache 2.0.x;

• The cgi-bin will be C:\Program Files\Apache Group\Apache2\cgi-bin for Apache 2.0.x.

• The Document Root will be C:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\Apache2.2\htdocs for Apache 2.2.x;

• The cgi-bin will be C:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\Apache2.2\cgi-bin for Apache 2.2.x.

NOTE 1: Assuming that the Apache is installed on the drive C.
