Making public_html Work in Ubuntu 8.04 with Apache2

Posted by on January 20, 2009 No comments

Ever wanted each user on your server to have their own web directory? I wanted users on my server to have access to the public_html directory in their home directory so that they could display content at http://www.mydomain.com/~USERNAME. How do you do this?

  1. Edit /etc/apache2/apache2.conf
  2. Find the section that looks like this:
    3. 1
2
3
4
5
6

    #UserDir is now a module
#UserDir public_html
#UserDir disabled root
 
#<Directory /home/*/public_html>
#	AllowOverride FileInfo AuthConfig Limit
#   Options Indexes SymLinksIfOwnerMatch IncludesNoExec
#</Directory>
  3. Make it look like this:

    1

3
4
5
6

    #UserDir is now a module
UserDir public_html
#UserDir disabled root
 
<Directory /home/*/public_html>
	AllowOverride FileInfo AuthConfig Limit
	Options Indexes SymLinksIfOwnerMatch IncludesNoExec
</Directory>

  4. Sit back and relish in your own glory knowing that you have just accomplished something done today!
