What is the document root folder?

[paul dallaire]

HI! I have a readme file and it mentions to extract to my Web servers
document root folder. What is the document root folder?

Using IIS 5.1

1) Unzip the distribution (be sure to unzip the subdirectories) in your
webserver's document root. If you don't have direct access to your document
root, put the files in a directory on your local machine, and, after step 2,
transfer the directory on your web server using, for example, ftp.

Suggest that you create a subweb under the root web (http://localhost/subweb), then copy the files
into the subweb.

"root" folder means "home" or directory on the web server, typically one
called "htdocs", "public_html" etc etc.
