Apache adds /var/www to js file path

Question

I'v got a problem. Client has VPS and we transfered magento system to it.

The problem is that if for example path to magento is /var/www/magento and there is some file in it like /var/www/magento/file.js(for example) then on frontend it tries to load:

(host)/var/www/magento/file.js

but not

(host)/magento/file.js

How I can fix this?

UPDATE 1

Strange thing: CSS files are listed properly, but JS file use wrong path.

Check your .htaccess for a proper re-write setup. You may need to properly define the RewriteBase directive or modify RewriteRule settings. In either case references should not be absolute but instead relative to the docroot or HTTP URL, respectively.

Also the URL or SEO configuration may be mis-configured in Magento (disclosure: not intricately familiar with Magento so I'm not sure if it defines a site URL like Wordpress and Joomla do).
