Standard initial security configuration in httpd.conf:

<Directory />
AllowOverride None
Order deny,allow
Deny from all
</Directory>

Could somebody please tell me, what does the '/' actually mean in the first 'Directory' tag?

The root of any directory in the file system?
The ServerRoot?
The DocumentRoot?
Or what?

With thanks.
