Neither Python nor Django is a webserver. The document root is a function of your webserver. You must either be using Apache, or Tomcat, or Lighthttpd for this.

Hi there Hatem,

If it were apache, often times the document root is /var/www/html. This will be controlled by httpd.conf if it is in fact apache.

If it is in fact apache, and you have root access to the system, try this command:

httpd -S

Syntax OK
