Look in /var/log/apache/error.log.

It doesn't matter whether you have index.html.  (It looks nicer, but
it's not necessary to make things work.)

That's correct.  mkdir ~/public_html; chmod 755 ~/public_html

Your home directory (~timothy, not ~timothy/public_html) will not
be accessible from the web.  The URL, http://yourserver/~timothy/,
maps to the filesystem directory, /home/timothy/public_html.  There
is no URL that maps to the filesystem directory, /home/timothy.

Nope.

You should have this line in your httpd.conf

        LoadModule userdir_module /usr/lib/apache/1.3/mod_userdir.so

The file /usr/lib/apache/1.3/mod_userdir.so should exist.

You should have syntax-checked your httpd.conf file.

        apachectl configtest

You should have restarted apache.

        /etc/init.d/apache reload

You should check /var/log/apache/error.log, both before and after
trying to load the page with a web browser.

Larry and I are both assuming you're running apache 1.3.x.  If you're
running apache 2.0, all bets are off.

Let us know if you get it working... (-:
