>Description:
When srm.conf has the lines:
UserDir public_html
# security option strongly recommended in Apache documentation
UserDir disabled root
all URLs using "~userid" translate to directory ~userid/root
rather than ~userid/public_html. One workaround is to comment
out the line "UserDir disabled root".
>How-To-Repeat:
Sorry, it's hidden behind the firewall.
>Fix:
Check "mod_userdir.c"? Or just tell people not to use "UserDir disabled root"
in their srm.conf files. Note: That line was not in the distributed version
of srm.conf, but was in the documentation for UserDir when Apache 1.2.1
was released. The mod_userdir.html#userdir documentation now recommends
using that "disabled" line for Apache 1.3 or above. (Maybe someone already
found this problem in Apache 1.2.4? I didn't see it in the bug list.)
