[users@httpd] Creating user directories in Apache2
Hello! I'm new to Apache Web server and have a basic questions related to
the server administration. I just installed apache 2 and would like to
create a few user accounts and allow them have their own public_html
directories for web pages. I tried setting up the "userdir public_html" in
httpd-userdir.conf file, and also create a user folder
"C:\home\test\public_html". But when I typed
http://localhost:80/~test/index.html <http://localhost/~test/index.html> ,
it doesn't work. What did I do wrong?
Any help will be greatly appreciated!!

Use one of the formats of UserDir where you explicitly specify the path:
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/mod/mod_userdir.html
As in:
UserDir c:/home/*/public_html
