    Suppose you are user pal in your machine, which has ip 123.456.78.99
    Then,

    ~/public_html/ means /home/pal/public_html
    Which is accessed from the internet by pointing at
    http://123.456.78.99/~pal/

    and

    /var/www/ is where you put the what you want visible by pinting at
    your ip alone, that is
    http://123.456.78.99/myfile.html is located in
    /var/www/myfile.html

    This is the standard in debian machines (and unix in general, or close
    to it). The settings can be modified by making changes in the
    configuration files of apache.
