+    <p>The <directive>DefaultStateDir</directive> directive sets the
+    directory in which the server will create various persistent state
+    files (databases, long-lived caches, etc.). If set as a relative
+    path, the full path will be relative to

+    <p>The default location of <directive>DefaultStateDir</directive> may be

+    at build time.</p>
+
+   <p>Note: <directive>ServerRoot</directive> should be specified before this
