As far as I recall, you must first set the UserDir to public_html in the
srm.conf (or in httpd.conf, if you are not using srm.conf). Apache can
then services requests such as:
http://www.yourdomain/~user-name/userfile.html
it remaps this to the file ~user-name/public_html/userfile.html
You must however create the public_html directory in every user's
directory or Apache returns an error.
Hope this helps.
