I'll still prefer mod_userdir as in just three lines I can set it up for all users like
Userdir dirname
Userdir enabled
Userdir disabled root
The last line is not needed and now any request for http://server/~user will serve contents from
/home/user/dirname
I use this method as well, and it really is the simpliest. The convention is to use 'public_html' for dirname. Anything they put in their public_html directory will be viewable via the web server. The permissions on public_html need to allow the web server user (apache) access to the directory and files in it.
These are the comments in my httpd.conf file:
# The path to the end user account 'public_html' directory must be # accessible to the webserver userid. This usually means that ~userid # must have permissions of 711, ~userid/public_html must have permissions # of 755, and documents contained therein must be world-readable. # Otherwise, the client will only receive a "403 Forbidden" message. #
