How?

Give it an absolute path. My guess is that you've used a relative path,
and it's taking it relative to ServerRoot.

Either that, or you've configured a VirtualHost incorrectly, and it's
landing back on the default DocumentRoot.

Webmin's not bad; I was impressed how it picked up the existing
(manually-edited) configs and presented them graphically. However, the
RH tool for Apache sucks the fat wongo under RH8 - not sure if it's
improved much for RH9.

nb: FWIW, I teach Apache Admin classes. If you want me to take a ganders
at your config files and give you advice outside of here, I'm happy to
do so.
