<a href="directive-dict.html#Compatibility"
rel="Help"><strong>Compatibility:</strong></a> All forms except
the <code>UserDir public_html</code> form are only available in
Apache 1.1 or above. Use of the <samp>enabled</samp> keyword,
or <samp>disabled</samp> with a list of usernames, is only
available in Apache 1.3 and above.
<p>The UserDir directive sets the real directory in a user's
home directory to use when a request for a document for a user
is received. <em>Directory-filename</em> is one of the
following:</p>
<ul>
<li>The name of a directory or a pattern such as those shown
below.</li>
<li>The keyword <samp>disabled</samp>. This turns off
<em>all</em> username-to-directory translations except those
explicitly named with the <samp>enabled</samp> keyword (see
below).</li>
<li>The keyword <samp>disabled</samp> followed by a
space-delimited list of usernames. Usernames that appear in
such a list will <em>never</em> have directory translation
performed, even if they appear in an <samp>enabled</samp>
clause.</li>
<li>The keyword <samp>enabled</samp> followed by a
space-delimited list of usernames. These usernames will have
directory translation performed even if a global disable is
in effect, but not if they also appear in a
<samp>disabled</samp> clause.</li>
</ul>
<p>If neither the <samp>enabled</samp> nor the
<samp>disabled</samp> keywords appear in the
<samp>Userdir</samp> directive, the argument is treated as a
filename pattern, and is used to turn the name into a directory
specification. A request for
<code>http://www.foo.com/~bob/one/two.html</code> will be
translated to:</p>
<pre>
UserDir public_html -> ~bob/public_html/one/two.html
UserDir /usr/web -> /usr/web/bob/one/two.html
UserDir /home/*/www -> /home/bob/www/one/two.html
</pre>
<p>The following directives will send redirects to the
client:</p>
<pre>
UserDir http://www.foo.com/users -> http://www.foo.com/users/bob/one/two.html
UserDir http://www.foo.com/*/usr -> http://www.foo.com/bob/usr/one/two.html
UserDir http://www.foo.com/~*/ -> http://www.foo.com/~bob/one/two.html
</pre>
<blockquote>
<strong>Be careful when using this directive; for instance,
<samp>"UserDir ./"</samp> would map
<samp>"/~root"</samp> to <samp>"/"</samp> - which is probably
undesirable. If you are running Apache 1.3 or above, it is
strongly recommended that your configuration include a
"<samp>UserDir disabled root</samp>" declaration.
See also the <a
href="core.html#directory"><Directory></a> directive
and the <a href="../misc/security_tips.html">Security
Tips</a> page for more information.</strong>
</blockquote>
<p>Additional examples:</p>
<p>To allow a few users to have <code>UserDir</code> directories, but
not anyone else, use the following:</p>
<pre>
UserDir disabled
UserDir enabled user1 user2 user3
</pre>
<p>To allow most users to have <code>UserDir</code> directories, but
deny this to a few, use the following:</p>
<pre>
UserDir enabled
UserDir disabled user4 user5 user6
</pre>
