How to host ~users in apache?
 

Hi! I've installed the stock apache from my slackware 11 dvd.

I just want to know how do I host users so that each of them has their own directory serving webpages.

e.g. http://localhost/~user

Thanks! :)

You can use virtualhost directive to do so
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/1.3/vhosts/examples.html

You will need to make sure Apache is compiled with mod_userdir. Check the httpd.conf and search for mod_userdir. There should be a AddModule and LoadModule for mod_userdir.

Then check the section

Restart Apache if any changes have been made. You should then be able to access the user's home directory via http://domain.com/~username/

wow it worked!!! Thanks a lot guys! :)
