// By default, where the "root" directory is depends which user it is running under.

|

// For example, on a Unix or Unix-like system such as Linux, with a user "joeblow" who has a home-directory at

// "/home/joeblow", RootDir might return "/home/joeblow/public_root".

// For example:
|
|
//
|
|
// PUBLIC_ROOT=/path/to/public_root

|

//
|
