put something like this in your apache config file(remove it after you're done with this):

Code:

<Location /server-info>

        SetHandler server-info

        Order allow,deny

        Allow from all

</Location>

restart apache, take a look at http://localhost/server-info and see if mod_userdir is there, if its not this is what you can add to the config file to enable it:

Code:

LoadModule userdir_module                modules/mod_userdir.so

<IfModule mod_userdir.c>

    UserDir public_html

</IfModule>

its just an Apache module that provides user specific directories which can be accessed by using http://example.com/~user/
