[users@httpd] User web and other web dirs

Hola Apache Users (users@httpd.apache.org). Hoy  Digo lo siguiente:

   I  have  installed  apache 2.0.49 and i'd like to know if there's a
   way  of  changing the tilde (/~david/) for anyother symbol or alias
   it so we could use +, -, whatever character as on Spanish keyboards
   this key is'n present (you have to use ALT+126).

   Another  question  i'm  hosting  some  mirrors on my machine Samba,
   Rsync    and    TLDP  and  i  have  them  set  up  as  Alias  like
   http://www.tuxcafe.com/LDP/
   but i would like to set them as for example http://ldp.tuxcafe.com

   Is there any way of doing this.

   I'd appreciate your response as i've sent many messages and i don't
   get any reply.

   Thanx

Well  this  is  what i wanted to know, but now another issue comes up,
i've sucessfully setup mod_frontpage 2002 Server extensions and i have
some per user subwebs setups adn i want to know if:

1.  mod_frontpage  will  continue  to  work  correctly with the hacked
mod_userdir?.

2.   existing  seetings  on mod_frontpage would have to be overwritten
with the new ones?.

Ok  i  have my own DNS server here and i have ZOneedit managing my DNS

I  in  fact  have it i've already set up VHs for www.skynetbbs.org and
the  default  is  www.tuxcafe.com  but  i ommited it as it'd be a long
message though i now see the need to show you my VH entries so you can
see if i'm doing something wrong.

skynetbbs.org and tuxcafe.com work correctly but ldo.tuxcafe.com shows
me tuxcafe.com pages.

I  just  change  ServerAlias  from  tuxcafe.com  *.tuxcafe.com ti just
tuxcafe.com www.tuxcafe.com

I guess that was the problem.

I will test.

Ok i deleted that.

I don't see the VirtualHost entry for www.tuxcafe.com. I'm betting that if
you don't have one, you're getting ldp pages on www, not vice versa: the
first VirtualHost entry becomes the default.

By the way, the same name need not be both ServerName and ServerAlias.

Well  i've done so i created an alias on DNS that maps ldp.tuxcafe.com
to www.tuxcafe.com and set up Apache like this:

<VirtualHost *:80>
        ServerName ldp.tuxcafe.com
        ServerAlias ldp.tuxcafe.com
        DocumentRoot /mirror/ldp
        ErrorLog /var/log/apache/ldp-error_log
        CustomLog /var/log/apache/ldp-access_log common
</VirtualHost>

But  i  still  get www.tuxcafe.com pages and not ldp.tuxcafe.com, am i
doing something wrong?

See:
http://httpd.apache.org/docs-2.0/urlmapping.html#user

Two other alternatives:
1. Hack mod_userdir to use whatever character you want.
2. Tell your users to type %7e in place of ~.
