Once a user is created the home dir is say /home/username
there is a paraphrase in /etc/httpd/conf/access.conf
<directory /home/*/public_html>
Options FollowSymLinks
</directory>
This will let you browse the home directory as http://host/~username
The file that will be picked up will be public_html in the home dir of the
user
Note that the file should be readable by the webserver user i.e the user the
webserver runs as (nobody ??)
By default apache follows a lenient code ... enforce security by reading the
security section of the apache
documentation which is browsable by http://host by default
