You might also need to ensure you have the UserDir directive turned on
in apache (from the apache manual):
UserDir
Syntax: UserDir directory/filename
Default: UserDir public_html
Context: server config, virtual host
Status: Base
Module: mod_userdir
Compatibility: All forms except the UserDir public_html form are only
available in Apache 1.1 or above. Use of the enabled keyword, or
disabled with a list of usernames, is only available in Apache 1.3 and
above.
The UserDir directive sets the real directory in a user's home
directory to use when a request for a document for a user is received.
Directory/filename
is one of the following:
The name of a directory or a pattern such as those shown below.
The keyword disabled. This turns off all username-to-directory
translations except those explicitly named with the enabled keyword
(see
below).
The keyword disabled followed by a space-delimited list of
usernames. Usernames that appear in such a list will never have
directory
translation performed, even if they appear in an enabled clause.
The keyword enabled followed by a space-delimited list of
usernames. These usernames will have directory translation performed
even if a
global disable is in effect, but not if they also appear in a
disabled clause.
If neither the enabled nor the disabled keywords appear in the Userdir
directive, the argument is treated as a filename pattern, and is used
to
turn the name into a directory specification. A request for
http://www.foo.com/~bob/one/two.html will be translated to:
UserDir public_html -> ~bob/public_html/one/two.html
UserDir /usr/web -> /usr/web/bob/one/two.html
UserDir /home/*/www -> /home/bob/www/one/two.html
