UserDir public_html
means that http://localhost/~foobar/ will look at ~foobar/public_html/
in the hard disk.
That is what you set as UserDir ('public_html' in your case) is the name
of a directory under user's $HOME that will be accessible as ~username/
trough http URL.
I've:
chanae:~# grep UserDir /etc/httpd/conf/srm.conf
# UserDir: The name of the directory which is appended onto a user's home
UserDir WWW
chanae:~# ls -d /home/srtxg/WWW
/home/srtxg/WWW/
and can read files in that dir with http://localhost/~srtxg/

Check that $HOME is world readable and world executable too;
a directory needs to be readable to lsit ist content and 'executable'
to be able to 'cd' to it. If that isn't the case httpd can't go trough it
to one of its subdirectories.
Do the same checking for the UserDir one.
eg in my case above:
chanae:~# ls -ld /home/srtxg
drwxr-xr-x 92 srtxg casa 12288 Feb 18 03:19 /home/srtxg/
chanae:~# ls -ld /home/srtxg/WWW
drwxr-xr-x 16 srtxg casa 2048 Dec 29 21:05 /home/srtxg/WWW/
