  52
  53     <p>If a path is given which does not start with a leading slash, it is
  54     assumed to be a directory path relative to the home directory of the
  55     specified user. Given this configuration:</p>
  56
  57     <div class="example"><p><code>

  63     <code>/home/rbowen/public_html/file.html</code></p>
  64
  65     <p>If a path is given starting with a slash, a directory path will be
  66     constructed using that path, plus the username specified. Given this

  94     <p>Using the syntax shown in the UserDir documentation, you can restrict
  95     what users are permitted to use this functionality:</p>
  96
  97     <div class="example"><p><code>
  98       UserDir enabled<br />
  99       UserDir disabled root jro fish
 100     </code></p></div>
 101
 102     <p>The configuration above will enable the feature for all users
 103     except for those listed in the <code>disabled</code> statement.
 104     You can, likewise, disable the feature for all but a few users by
 105     using a configuration like the following:</p>
 106
 107     <div class="example"><p><code>
 108       UserDir disabled<br />
 109       UserDir enabled rbowen krietz

 112     <p>See <code class="directive"><a href="../mod/mod_userdir.html#userdir">UserDir</a></code>
 113     documentation for additional examples.</p>

 117 <h2><a name="cgi" id="cgi">Enabling a cgi directory for each user</a></h2>
 118
 119
 120    <p>In order to give each user their own cgi-bin directory, you can use
 121     a <code class="directive"><a href="../mod/core.html#directory">&lt;Directory&gt;</a></code>
 122     directive to make a particular subdirectory of a user's home directory

 131
 132     <p>Then, presuming that <code>UserDir</code> is set to
 133     <code>public_html</code>, a cgi program <code>example.cgi</code>
 134     could be loaded from that directory as:</p>

 144
 145     <p>If you want to allows users to modify the server configuration in
 146     their web space, they will need to use <code>.htaccess</code> files to
 147     make these changed. Ensure that you have set <code class="directive"><a href="../mod/core.html#allowoverride">AllowOverride</a></code> to a
 148     value sufficient for the directives that you want to permit the users
 149     to modify. See the <a href="htaccess.html">.htaccess tutorial</a> for
 150     additional details on how this works.</p>
