Apache2 on Ubuntu

Enabling User Directory

This is how to set up Apache2 on Ubuntu so that, when hxxp://server/~username is accessed, the browser returns the content in /home/username/public_html.

First, user directory is now a mod in Ubuntu's apache2. If you have not installed the mod, then execute the following command:

sudo a2enmod userdir

Second, edit /etc/apache2/apache2.conf and add the following lines:

<IfModule mod_userdir.c>
    UserDir public_html
</IfModule>

<Directory /home/*/public_html>
    AllowOverride FileInfo AuthConfig Limit
    Options Indexes SymLinksIfOwnerMatch IncludesNoExec
</Directory>

Third, execute the following command:

cd /etc/apache2/mods-enabled
sudo ln -s /etc/apache2/mods-available/userdir.conf userdir.conf
sudo ln -s /etc/apache2/mods-available/userdir.load userdir.load

Forth, restart your apache2:

sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 restart
