No, the web root is defined in /etc/httpd.conf. Put your stuff wherever
you like (preferably in a sane location), and modify the config file to

FHS requires that there be /var/mail/<filename=username> because this is
a system variable length file. You can then move the file where you
like, usually into ~/
