[Question] If I wanted to manually install WP on my LAMP setup, which directory is used?

Post Body

Trying to get the shared hosting training wheels off. When I first installed my Apache server, my domain said I needed to replace /var/www/html/index.html. So if I wanted to manually install WordPress, would I use /var/www/html/ as the install directory?

Also, what if I wanted to use my LAMP setup for two sites. Let's say one WP and one static site. I know I would have to point the nameservers to my VPS but how does my VPS know this directory is for the WP site and this one for the static site?
