You need to check the apache config file, called httpd.conf, which will tell you where the root is on your server. It is not typically the apache folder. I do not have a standard config, so I am not sure what the default setting is.
If you edit this file, and modify the location of the server root, you need to restart apache before the setting takes effect,,
Just to make sure: You do also have php instaled right?
