I tried adding the / after /home/rod/html and it didn't do anything different (still said the directory doesn't exist)
My default config file has userdir disabled. Is this a problem? I am not trying to use www.server.com/~rod I am trying to point www.rodsdomain.com to a directory under his /home. I did notice when I tried pointing to /home/rod instead of /home/rod/html that I did not get the "directory doesn't exist" error message, but it still will not display a dummy index page I placed in /home/rod All vhosts are working great as long as they are in directories under /var/www/html.
