[users@httpd] UserDir enabled problem

[Ed Sawicki <ed...@alcpress.com>]

I just compiled and installed Apache version 2.2.3 on Linux.
I have mod_userdir loaded and I added these directives to
the Apache configuration file:

UserDir  enabled
UserDir  disabled root
UserDir  public_html

When I restart Apache, I get this error on-screen and in the error_log:

Syntax error on line 395 of /usr/local/apache/conf/httpd.conf:395
UserDir "enable" keyword requires a list of usernames

and Apache doesn't start. The Apache documentation does not mention
that a list of usernames must be present and their examples don't show
such a list. What's up?

There is probably a problem with the docs.  But you can get what you
want with simply
UserDir public_html
UserDir disabled root

The "enable" part is implied.
