I want to give users of my virtual domains a web site.
I created a test user in the “homes” directory of a virtual domain. I also created a “public_html” folder and added an index file therein. Thus, the path to that user’s default web page is physically:
/home/virtualdomainname/homes/username/public_html/index.php
I edited httpd.conf thusly:
<IfModule mod_userdir.c>
UserDir public_html
</IfModule>
Using webmin, I "Apply Changes" and "Stop Apache" and "Start Apache".
Then, I pointed a browser at
http://virtualdomain.com/~username
I got a 404 error.
I believe that Apache is simply not looking for the user’s public_html folder where I want it to be, which is in the user’s ftp accessible folder structure.
It could also be a permissions problem, or a configuration problem, or something else.
What am I doing wrong?
Thanks for your time!
