Document Root is the directory from which all references to other directories and files are relative. If the document root is /Web/doc and a user accesses /indiv/juser then the actual directory accessed is /Web/doc/indiv/juser.
User Directory is the directory that is actually accessed when a user's home
directory is accessed via the tilde (~) mechanism through
Zot-Dispatch. If the user directory is public_html and ~juser is accessed then
the directory actually accessed is ~juser/public_html.
Both of these can be specified within the configuration file.
