title: Apache Document Root adds leading default path
body: <p>This should be a very simple question to answer for people who knows apache.</p>
  
  <p>I have an Ubuntu computer which I use as my server. I have worked with apache several times before, but never experienced this issue.</p>
  
  <p>My owncloud.conf file in the sites-enabled folder looks like this:</p>
  
  <p><code>1 &lt;VirtualHost *:80&gt;¬
   2     ServerName owncloud¬
   3     DocumentRoot "~/mybook/ownCloud"¬
   4     &lt;Directory ~/mybook/ownCloud/&gt;¬
   5         Options None¬
   6         Order deny,allow¬
   7         Allow from all¬
   8     &lt;/Directory&gt;¬
   9 &lt;/VirtualHost&gt;</code></p>
  
  <p>But after enabling the site and restarting apache, I'm getting this error:</p>
  
  <p><code>AH00112: Warning: DocumentRoot [/etc/apache2/~/mybook/ownCloud] does not exist</code></p>
  
  <p>I've been looking, and I cannot seem to find where it's set that "/etc/apache2/" should be leading default path to all set document roots of the site config files.</p>
  
  <p>Does anyone know how I can remove this default setting?</p>
