RH does not use the default locations for Apache.
The server root is /etc/httpd, in /etc/httpd/conf are the configuration
files httpd.conf and srm.conf.
In RH6.1:
The ServerRoot is defined in httpd.conf
The Documentroot is /home/httpd/html, defined in srm.conf
The UserDir is public_html, defined in srm.conf
