VitualHost + UserDir prob
Hello all. I have a few users that use the userdir directive so they
don't have to have their own domain name. I used to have the UserDir
directive in the main, default setups like this:
UserDir /net/www/*/www
And that worked great!
But then I found that clients could get web pages from any of my domain
host customers (OOPS!). So it didn't matter what the domain was on the
server:
http://www.foo.com/~someone/
http://www.bar.com/~someone/
http://www.cat.com/~someone/
These would all yield the same results.
So I remarked out the userdir directive in the main host and put a copy
of the original directive into the virtual host that is supposed to
handle these user accounts (names change to protect the somewhat
innocent):
<VirtualHost 10.1.1.7>
ServerName www.foo.com
ServerAdmin webmaster@foo.com
DocumentRoot /net/www/xyz00002/www
SetEnv HOME_DIR /net/www/xyz00002
UserDir /net/www/*/www
.
.
.
</VirtualHost>
This solved the domain hosing problem, but the exact same request as
above for http://www.foo.com/~someone/ just returns a 302 error. Why
won't this directive work when put inside the virtualhost directive?

Re: VitualHost + UserDir prob (solution)
Posted by Kyle <ky...@ccidomain.com>.
I appreciate the replies. Sorry about the cloak and dagger, Joshua.
To summarize, the basic problem was that the exact same userdir
directive would not work within the virtual host, but worked fine in the
main host.
I wasn't able to use Lewis' suggestions because my directory structure
is different, but they did cause me to try something that revealed the
solution.
Solution: When wanting UserDir functionality in *one virtual host only*,
in the main server config, enter "UserDir disabled". This will do two
things:
1) This prevents the main and all other virtual hosts from hosting the
userdirs
2) For some VERY odd reason it causes the path in the virtual host that
*does* have the "UserDir /net/www/*/www" directive to work as
documented.
To verify, I went back and double checked. Remarking out "UserDir
disabled" in the main configuration causes the virtual host with the
"UserDir /net/www/*/www" directive to issue a 302 error with a circular
reference ("here" calls itself). Removing the remark to re-issue the
"UserDir disabled" directive solves the 302 problem and allows the
system to work as documented and expected.
Thanks for the help guys. :)

For your virtual hosts where you do not want /~userdirs use UserDir
disabled, this works in the main config as well. Then, where you want
/~userdirs use the UserDir public_html.
<VirtualHost 123.456.798>
DocumentRoot /home/www/domain
ServerName www.domain.com
Errorlog /home/www/domain/logs
UserDir public_html
</VirtualHost>
<VirtualHost 123.456.799>
DocumentRoot /home/www/domain2
ServerName www.domain2.com
Errorlog /home/www/domain2/logs
UserDir disabled
</VirtualHost>
Hope this helps. Also is you use UserDir enabled you have to specify what
users. I don't think you need this.

302 is not an error, it is a redirection. You will need to provide more
details about what you expect to see and what you actually see, including
relevant log entries.
You would make things much easier for everyone if you used real domain names
so that we could just test ourselves to see what is going on.
