What I am about to describe is not the solution you requested but is an easy
solution to configure if you wish to allow users to set up their own web
pages.
Go to you /etc/httpd/conf/commonhttpd.conf and check for the following
directive.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
# UserDir: The name of the directory which is appended onto a user's home
# directory if a ~user request is received.
#
<IfModule mod_userdir.c>
UserDir public_html
</IfModule>
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
If it is present, create a subdirectory in their home directory called
public_html. This directive is enabled by default on Mandrake 9.
If a user 'guy' has such a directory the content can be served by using
the following url format
http://domain/~guy -note the umulat.
Hope that helps
