Provided you have the webserver running and you have access from the internet, then you have a setting in your httpd.conf file called "Document Root". That setting is where you would put the top layer of files. You can create sub dir's in there of course.

Redhat by default is for root I think in /var/www, you can create it for other users setup on the machine in their own personal /home directories which is really the best place i think.
But like KevinJ said, anywhere you want, it should have a default directory, but you have the freedom to change that.
