Where is this set in the Apache HTTP Server Version 1.3 ?
From a browser (don't worry about DNS)
http://123.456.789.111:8888/dir1/info.html
translates to "/usr/local/user1/www/info .html" on the machine itself
the webpage info.html now has to reside in /usr/local/user2/www/info. html
where is the "dir1" part set so I can point it to the new directory"?
A grep of /etc/apache does not find "dir1" in any of the files in that directory (files listed below in case I'm missing something)
httpd.conf-example
zone.properties
srm.conf
mime.types
magic
jserv.properties
jserv.conf
access.conf
httpd.conf
httpd.conf.12.13.06

Isn't dir1 an existing directory in your webserver root which has a .htaccess file in it with a mod_rewrite directive in it?

DocumentRoot directive in httpd.conf

jjc_mn is the author of this question. I found "a" solution to my problem so I'm happy gut I still have no idea how the previous tech configured Apache to read html pages from a directory on the box WITHOUT modifiying the httpd.conf, or at least not using the word dir1 anywhere in httpd.conf. At least not that I can see.

No, not in same path as webserver root. No ".htaccess" file even on my machine
