<p>On systems with multiple users, each user can be permitted to have a
web site in their home directory using the <a href="../mod/mod_userdir.html#userdir" class="directive"><code class="directive">UserDir</code></a> directive. Visitors
to a URL <code>http://example.com/~username/</code> will get content
out of the home directory of the user "<code>username</code>", out of

<h2><a name="userdir">Setting the file path with <a href="../mod/mod_userdir.html#userdir" class="directive"><code class="directive">UserDir</code></a></a></h2>
<p>The <a href="../mod/mod_userdir.html#userdir" class="directive"><code class="directive">UserDir</code></a>
directive specifies a directory out of which per-user
content is loaded. This directive may take several different forms.</p>
<p>If a path is given which does not start with a leading slash, it is
assumed to be a directory path relative to the home directory of the
specified user. Given this configuration:</p>
<blockquote><table cellpadding="10"><tr><td bgcolor="#eeeeee"><code>
UserDir public_html
</code></td></tr></table></blockquote>
<p>the URL <code>http://example.com/~rbowen/file.html</code> will be
translated to the file path
<code>/home/rbowen/public_html/file.html</code></p>
<p>If a path is given starting with a slash, a directory path will be
constructed using that path, plus the username specified. Given this
configuration:</p>
<blockquote><table cellpadding="10"><tr><td bgcolor="#eeeeee"><code>
UserDir /var/html
</code></td></tr></table></blockquote>
<p>the URL <code>http://example.com/~rbowen/file.html</code> will be
translated to the file path <code>/var/html/rbowen/file.html</code></p>
<p>If a path is provided which contains an asterisk (*), a path is used
in which the asterisk is replaced with the username. Given this
configuration:</p>
<blockquote><table cellpadding="10"><tr><td bgcolor="#eeeeee"><code>
UserDir /var/www/*/docs
</code></td></tr></table></blockquote>
<p>the URL <code>http://example.com/~rbowen/file.html</code> will be
translated to the file path
<code>/var/www/rbowen/docs/file.html</code></p>
<h2><a name="enable">Restricting what users are permitted to use this
feature</a></h2>
<p>Using the syntax show in the UserDir documentation, you can restrict
what users are permitted to use this functionality:</p>
<blockquote><table cellpadding="10"><tr><td bgcolor="#eeeeee"><code>
UserDir enabled<br>
UserDir disabled root jro fish
</code></td></tr></table></blockquote>
<p>The configuration above will enable the feature for all users
except for those listed in the <code>disabled</code> statement.
You can, likewise, disable the feature for all but a few users by
using a configuration like the following:</p>
<blockquote><table cellpadding="10"><tr><td bgcolor="#eeeeee"><code>
UserDir disabled<br>
UserDir enabled rbowen krietz
</code></td></tr></table></blockquote>
<p>See <a href="../mod/userdir.html#userdir" class="directive"><code class="directive">UserDir</code></a>
documentation for additional examples.</p>
<h2><a name="cgi">Enabling a cgi directory for each user</a></h2>
<p>In order to give each user their own cgi-bin directory, you can use
a <a href="../mod/core.html#directorymatch" class="directive"><code class="directive">DirectoryMatch</code></a>
directive to make a particular subdirectory of a user's home directory
cgi-enabled.</p>
<blockquote><table cellpadding="10"><tr><td bgcolor="#eeeeee"><code>
<DirectoryMatch /home/*/cgi-bin/><br>
Options +ExecCGI<br>
SetHandler cgi-script<br>
</DirectoryMatch>
</code></td></tr></table></blockquote>
<h2><a name="htaccess">Allowing users to alter configuration</a></h2>
<p>If you want to allows users to modify the server configuration in
their web space, they will need to use <code>.htaccess</code> files to
make these changed. Ensure that you have set <a href="../mod/core.html#allowoverride" class="directive"><code class="directive">AllowOverride</code></a> to a
value sufficient for the directives that you want to permit the users
to modify. See the <a href="htaccess.html">.htaccess tutorial</a> for
additional details on how this works.</p>
