dokumentrotkatalog

dokumentrotkatalog is a German term that translates to "document root directory." In the context of web servers, it refers to the primary directory where all the files that make up a website are stored. When a user requests a web page, the web server looks for the requested files within this document root directory. Common examples of files found in a document root include HTML files, CSS stylesheets, JavaScript files, images, and other assets necessary for the website's functionality and appearance. The web server is configured to serve content from this specific directory. The exact location of the document root varies depending on the web server software being used, such as Apache, Nginx, or IIS, and its specific configuration. For example, in Apache, it is often set using the `DocumentRoot` directive in the server's configuration files. Ensuring that the document root is correctly configured is crucial for a website to be accessible on the internet. Any files placed outside this directory are generally not directly accessible via web requests.
