you want your DocumentRoot directory. look in httpd.conf for this path. after that, you can place it anywhere you want.
example
now you can put it in any directory after that path in /var/apache2/htdocs
you could make a directory called test and put it in there. set your permissions and owner.
next, make sure apache is up and then put in your usually address in a browser like 'http://localhost/test/test.html'
you should see your page.
