I think the document root is just where apache2 looks first.
*Don't know if you are supposed to do it like that* but think the actual 
html files can be anywhere so long as they have the right permissions 
and have a link to them in the document root.
Whenever I've changed anything I do.
#!/bin/bash
find /path_to_html_files/ -type d -exec chmod 750 {} \;
find /path_to_html_files/ -type f -exec chmod 640 {} \;
chown -R root /path_to_html_files/*;
chgrp -R www-data /path_to_html_files/*;

remembering if there is any file wants to be executable.
