Enable UserDir on CentOS vhosts

by

Edit the /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf file.
Change the ‘UserDir disabled’ line to ‘UserDir enabled ’.
Uncomment the ‘UserDir public_html’ line.
Also uncomment the whole ‘’ section until the ‘’.
Apply the proper permissions:


# chmod 711 ~<username>



# chmod 755 -R ~<username>/public_html/


<IfModule mod_userdir.c>
 #
 # UserDir is disabled by default since it can confirm the presence
 # of a username on the system (depending on home directory
 # permissions).
 #
UserDir enabled unixmenuser

 #
 # To enable requests to /~user/ to serve the user's public_html
 # directory, remove the "UserDir disabled" line above, and uncomment
 # the following line instead:
 #
 UserDir public_html

</IfModule>

<Directory /home/*/public_html>
