<title>Per-user web directories</title>
<summary>
<p>On systems with multiple users, each user can be permitted to have a
web site in their home directory using the <directive
module="mod_userdir">UserDir</directive> directive. Visitors
to a URL <code>http://example.com/~username/</code> will get content
out of the home directory of the user "<code>username</code>", out of
the subdirectory specified by the <directive
module="mod_userdir">UserDir</directive> directive.</p>

<title>Setting the file path with UserDir</title>
<p>The <directive module="mod_userdir">UserDir</directive>
directive specifies a directory out of which per-user
content is loaded. This directive may take several different forms.</p>
<p>If a path is given which does not start with a leading slash, it is
assumed to be a directory path relative to the home directory of the
specified user. Given this configuration:</p>
<example>
UserDir public_html
</example>
<p>the URL <code>http://example.com/~rbowen/file.html</code> will be
translated to the file path
<code>/home/rbowen/public_html/file.html</code></p>
<p>If a path is given starting with a slash, a directory path will be
constructed using that path, plus the username specified. Given this
configuration:</p>
<example>
UserDir /var/html
</example>
<p>the URL <code>http://example.com/~rbowen/file.html</code> will be
translated to the file path <code>/var/html/rbowen/file.html</code></p>
<p>If a path is provided which contains an asterisk (*), a path is used
in which the asterisk is replaced with the username. Given this
configuration:</p>
<example>
UserDir /var/www/*/docs
</example>
<p>the URL <code>http://example.com/~rbowen/file.html</code> will be
translated to the file path
<code>/var/www/rbowen/docs/file.html</code></p>
</section>
<section id="enable">
<title>Restricting what users are permitted to use this
feature</title>
<p>Using the syntax show in the UserDir documentation, you can restrict
what users are permitted to use this functionality:</p>
<example>
UserDir enabled<br />
UserDir disabled root jro fish
</example>
<p>The configuration above will enable the feature for all users
except for those listed in the <code>disabled</code> statement.
You can, likewise, disable the feature for all but a few users by
using a configuration like the following:</p>
<example>
UserDir disabled<br />
UserDir enabled rbowen krietz
</example>
<p>See <directive module="mod_userdir">UserDir</directive>
documentation for additional examples.</p>
</section>
<section id="cgi">
<title>Enabling a cgi directory for each user</title>
<p>In order to give each user their own cgi-bin directory, you can use
a <directive module="core" type="section">Directory</directive>
directive to make a particular subdirectory of a user's home directory
cgi-enabled.</p>
<example>
<Directory /home/*/cgi-bin/><br />
Options ExecCGI<br />
SetHandler cgi-script<br />
</Directory>
</example>
</section>
<section id="htaccess">
<title>Allowing users to alter configuration</title>
<p>If you want to allows users to modify the server configuration in
their web space, they will need to use <code>.htaccess</code> files to
make these changed. Ensure that you have set <directive
module="core">AllowOverride</directive> to a
value sufficient for the directives that you want to permit the users
to modify. See the <a href="htaccess.html">.htaccess tutorial</a> for
additional details on how this works.</p>
