and a few more 1.3isms I let slep in

<strong>Status:</strong> Base<br>

<strong>Module:</strong> mod_userdir<br>

<strong>Compatibility:</strong> All forms except the <code>UserDir

public_html</code> form are only available in Apache 1.1 or above.  Use

of the <SAMP>enabled</SAMP> keyword, or <SAMP>disabled</SAMP> with a

list of usernames, is only available in Apache 1.3 and above.<p>

public_html</code> form are only available in Apache 1.1 or above.<p>

The UserDir directive sets the real directory in a user's home directory

to use when a request for a document for a user is received.

<em>Directory/filename</em> is one of the following:

</P>

<UL>

 <LI>The name of a directory or a pattern such as those shown below.

 </LI>

 <LI>The keyword <SAMP>disabled</SAMP>.  This turns off <EM>all</EM>

  username-to-directory translations except those explicitly named with

  the <SAMP>enabled</SAMP> keyword (see below).

 </LI>

 <LI>The keyword <SAMP>disabled</SAMP> followed by a space-delimited

  list of usernames.  Usernames that appear in such a list will

  <EM>never</EM> have directory translation performed, even if they

  appear in an <SAMP>enabled</SAMP> clause.

 </LI>

 <LI>The keyword <SAMP>enabled</SAMP> followed by a space-delimited list

  of usernames.  These usernames will have directory translation

  performed even if a global disable is in effect, but not if they also

  appear in a <SAMP>disabled</SAMP> clause.

 </LI>

</UL>

<P>

If neither the <SAMP>enabled</SAMP> nor the <SAMP>disabled</SAMP>

keywords appear in the <SAMP>Userdir</SAMP> directive, the argument is

treated as a filename pattern, and is used to turn the name into a

directory specification.  A request for

<em>Directory</em> is either <code>disabled</code>, to disable this feature,

 or the name of a directory, following one of the following

patterns. If not disabled, then a request for

<code>http://www.foo.com/~bob/one/two.html</code> will be translated to:

<pre>

UserDir public_html     -> ~bob/public_html/one/two.html

UserDir http://www.foo.com/*/usr   -> http://www.foo.com/bob/usr/one/two.html

UserDir http://www.foo.com/~*/     -> http://www.foo.com/~bob/one/two.html

</pre>

 Be careful when using this directive; for instance,

 <SAMP>&quot;UserDir&nbsp;./&quot;</SAMP> would map

 <SAMP>&quot;/~root&quot;</SAMP> to 

 <SAMP>&quot;/&quot;</SAMP> - which is probably undesirable.  If you are

 running Apache 1.3 or above, it is strongly recommended that your

 configuration include a

 &quot;<SAMP>UserDir&nbsp;disabled&nbsp;root</SAMP>&quot; declaration.
