Also is the web server root directory the place where you put your site files and later acces them with localhost/file_name in the browser?
Right-click the Web application you want more information about, such as SharePoint (80), and then click Properties. In the Default Web Site Properties window, click the Home Directory tab. The Local Path field in this tab shows the Web application root folder.
The web root is the folder where the website files for a site are stored. Each site under your host gets an unique root folder. The root folder is placed under the sites username. Inside the web root folder you'll find folders like \logs , \public , \private and more.
There is no such thing as a localhost directory by default. You first have to install a web server, and then drop your files in the directory that is specified in the configuration.
If you installed WAMP to c:\wamp
then I believe your webserver root directory would be c:\wamp\www
, however this might vary depending on version.
Yes, this is where you would put your site files to access them through a browser.
