51     <p>The <code class="directive"><a href="../mod/mod_userdir.html#userdir">UserDir</a></code>
52     directive specifies a directory out of which per-user
53     content is loaded. This directive may take several different forms.</p>
54
55     <p>If a path is given which does not start with a leading slash, it is
56     assumed to be a directory path relative to the home directory of the
57     specified user. Given this configuration:</p>
58
59     <div class="example"><p><code>
60       UserDir public_html
61     </code></p></div>
62
63     <p>the URL <code>http://example.com/~rbowen/file.html</code> will be
64     translated to the file path
65     <code>/home/rbowen/public_html/file.html</code></p>
66
67     <p>If a path is given starting with a slash, a directory path will be
68     constructed using that path, plus the username specified. Given this
69     configuration:</p>
70
71     <div class="example"><p><code>
72       UserDir /var/html
73     </code></p></div>
74
75     <p>the URL <code>http://example.com/~rbowen/file.html</code> will be
76     translated to the file path <code>/var/html/rbowen/file.html</code></p>
77
78     <p>If a path is provided which contains an asterisk (*), a path is used
79     in which the asterisk is replaced with the username. Given this
80     configuration:</p>
81
82     <div class="example"><p><code>
83       UserDir /var/www/*/docs

95
96     <p>Using the syntax shown in the UserDir documentation, you can restrict
97     what users are permitted to use this functionality:</p>
98
99     <div class="example"><p><code>
100       UserDir enabled<br />
101       UserDir disabled root jro fish
102     </code></p></div>
103
104     <p>The configuration above will enable the feature for all users
105     except for those listed in the <code>disabled</code> statement.
106     You can, likewise, disable the feature for all but a few users by
107     using a configuration like the following:</p>
108
109     <div class="example"><p><code>
110       UserDir disabled<br />
111       UserDir enabled rbowen krietz
112     </code></p></div>
113
114     <p>See <code class="directive"><a href="../mod/mod_userdir.html#userdir">UserDir</a></code>
115     documentation for additional examples.</p>
116
117   </div><div class="top"><a href="#page-header"><img alt="top" src="../images/up.gif" /></a></div>
118 <div class="section">
119 <h2><a name="cgi" id="cgi">Enabling a cgi directory for each user</a></h2>
120   
121
122    <p>In order to give each user their own cgi-bin directory, you can use
123     a <code class="directive"><a href="../mod/core.html#directory">&lt;Directory&gt;</a></code>
124     directive to make a particular subdirectory of a user's home directory
125     cgi-enabled.</p>
126
127     <div class="example"><p><code>
128       &lt;Directory /home/*/public_html/cgi-bin/&gt;<br />

130        SetHandler cgi-script<br />
131        &lt;/Directory&gt;
132     </code></p></div>
133
134     <p>Then, presuming that <code>UserDir</code> is set to
135     <code>public_html</code>, a cgi program <code>example.cgi</code>
136     could be loaded from that directory as:</p>
137
138     <div class="example"><p><code>
139     http://example.com/~rbowen/cgi-bin/example.cgi

144 <h2><a name="htaccess" id="htaccess">Allowing users to alter configuration</a></h2>
145     
146
147     <p>If you want to allows users to modify the server configuration in
148     their web space, they will need to use <code>.htaccess</code> files to
149     make these changed. Ensure that you have set <code class="directive"><a href="../mod/core.html#allowoverride">AllowOverride</a></code> to a
150     value sufficient for the directives that you want to permit the users
151     to modify. See the <a href="htaccess.html">.htaccess tutorial</a> for
152     additional details on how this works.</p>
