If post #1 in this thread is still relevant, then:

If you have already a website created, just copy it to /opt/share/www/cherokee but first set write permission to folder:
• chmod 777 /opt/share/www/cherokee
If you don't have a website, a good start is to download a template from web, like one from this site www.htmltemplates.net
Edit with your favorite HTML editor and publish.

They are usually outside the ftp/samba share location.
Use WinSCP to login with your router's credentials, make sure to select SCP as the protocol and have SSH enabled in Administration/System.
You'll find DocumentRoot to be it in the referenced path.

/home/root is the volatile home directory of the root user on the router which is your username.
Go up two levels and you'll find the full directory structure of your router.
