No, that is a rare case for Apache, actually.  It's only really true in
the old world of static web pages, which is vanishing.  You almost never
want the user of a PHP application to have access to the PHP source, which
is what's stored in the shared file system.

The job of Apache these days is usually to run dynamic interpreted
applications or to mediate and possibly rewrite or selectively release raw
data stored elsewhere.
