You need to use sudo to write to files in this directory. You can configure another directory to be the root directory of the web server by modifying the Apache configuration files but I used a quick and dirty way to link it to my home directory
first install apache2
sudo apt-get install apache2
stop apache
sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 stop
delete the apache www directory
sudo rm -rf /var/www
create the www directory in /home/pi
mkdir /home/pi/www
create the symbolic link to /home/pi
sudo ln -s /home/pi/www/ /var/www
Create an index.html file in /home/pi/www
vim /home/pi/www/index.html
<html>
</body>
test
</body>
</html>
sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 start
Check that the webserver works in the browser
