APACHE_DOCUMENT_ROOT is Misdocumented? /var/www/html/public instead of /var/www/html ??

Current Behavior

The official documentation says APACHE_DOCUMENT_ROOT Default: "/var/www/html"
https://serversideup.net/open-source/docker-php/docs/reference/environment-variable-specification

However, I notice when I launch my container I get this output:

❌ There seems to be a failure in checking the web server + PHP-FPM. Here's the response:

**AH00112: Warning: DocumentRoot [/var/www/html/public] does not exist**
**AH00112: Warning: DocumentRoot [/var/www/html/public] does not exist**

I take it that the documentation is wrong and I should put all my web files in /public.

Expected Behavior

I expect files to be served from /var/www/html since that's what documentation says. But I think doc is wrong.

Yes it was misdocumented. Sorry for the confusion! I updated the docs to reflect the default is /var/www/html/public.

Thanks for pointing this out!
