For Windows, assume the standard Windows directory tree structure for
LISTSERV:

~\LISTSERV       (LISTSERV Parent Folder)
   \LISTS        (list message archives Parent Folder)
     \listname1  (list message archives for listname1)
     \listname2  (list message archives for listname2)
     \...
   \LOG             (LISTSERV log files)
   \TMP             (temp work dir for LISTSERV)
   \SPOOL           (inbound SMTP folder)
   \OUT             (outbound SMTP folder)(user created*)
   \MAIN            (LISTSERV 'main' folder  *.LIST files, 
                       lsv.exe, etc.)
   \WWW             (WWW stuff Parent Folder)   
     \ARCHIVES      (list message *.WWWTPL and *.html files)
       \listname1   (list message www indexes for listname1)
       \listname2   (list message www indexes for listname2)
       \...
     \SCRIPTS       (wa.exe CGI executable)

In site.cfg file you need to declare 2 variables:

WWW_ARCHIVE_CGI= (a URL like http://your.server.edu/scripts/wa.exe)
WWW_ARCHIVE_DIR= (a file path like  E:\LISTSERV\WWW\ARCHIVES)

In addition you must create the appropriate (empty) directories matching
each listnamex under ...\WWW\ARCHIVES.  LISTSERV will populate these with
necessary indexes and other files after a restart.

============

Under Unix/Linux things are a bit different.

The standard Unix/Linux directory tree structure for LISTSERV:

~/listserv       (lsv*, go.user)
  /spool         (inbound & outbound SMTP folder)
  /tmp           (tmp dir for LISTSERV)
  /home          (LISTSERV 'main' folder  *.list files, etc.)
  /log           (symlink to /var/log/listserv)(user created*)
  /lists         (list msg archives)(user created*)
    /listname1
    /listname2
    /...

The directories and sub-directories equivalent to \WWW in windows are
elsewhere under unix, typically with other html files under Apache,
something like /var/www/html/archives  You need to find this for your system
as it is not normally created by the LISTSERV installer script.

Refer to other necesssary specific unix/linux instructions here:
