You have to make sure you're making a distinction between actual websites you're serving (localhost) and user accounts (e.g. localhost/~miark) because they're configured differently.
The example you gave below controls localhost, but not user accounts. And by the way, those are absolute paths. Look in commonhttpd.conf for "public_html", and see if the directory setting in that neck of the woods look in order.
