What I do is the following
as root
edit /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf and change
UserDir public_html
to
UserDir /home/httpd
then
chmod 755 /home/httpd
mkdir /home/httpd/$USER
chown $USER:$USER /home/httpd/$USER
chmod 755 /home/httpd/$USER
ln -s /home/httpd/$USER /home/$USER/public_html
This chamges the default directory from /home/$USER/public_html to
/home/httpd/$USER and creates a symlink to the users home directory. It has
the side effect of not making the user home directory available via the
browser
