<p>On systems with multiple users, each user can be permitted to have a
web site in their home directory using the <code class="directive"><a href="../mod/mod_userdir.html#userdir">UserDir</a></code> directive. Visitors
to a URL <code>http://example.com/~username/</code> will get content
out of the home directory of the user "<code>username</code>", out of
the subdirectory specified by the <code class="directive"><a href="../mod/mod_userdir.html#userdir">UserDir</a></code> directive.</p>

+ #Include conf/extra/httpd-userdir.conf

+ <p>in the default config file <code>conf/httpd.conf</code>, and adapting the <code>httpd-userdir.conf</code>
