Hello,
Please read up the manual on apache configuration at the Apache website. If 
this is only a local server, you can change the the "DocumentRoot" (that's 
the keyword you're looking for) to point to /home/james/www/ .

Make sure that you don't accidentally expose the stuff you don't want to 
expose to the outside world (ie. net)
