Setting up a Document root of your home directory sounds like an very
bad idea to me. Maybe a subdirectory under it if you can make the files
readable by the Apache user...

Sorry, meant to reply to the list:
Just been through similar issues myself:
Try
localhost/~moylan/welcome.htm
If that doesn't work, try (as root or via sudo):
a2enmod userdir
