<strong>Syntax:</strong> UserDir <em>directory/filename</em><br>

<strong>Status:</strong> Base<br>
<strong>Module:</strong> mod_userdir<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</em> is either <code>disabled</code>, to disable this feature,
or the name of a directory, following one of the following
patterns. If not disabled, then a request for
<code>http://www.foo.com/~bar/one/two.html</code> will be translated to:
<pre>
UserDir public_html -> ~bar/public_html/one/two.html
UserDir /usr/web -> /usr/web/bar/one/two.html
UserDir /home/*/www -> /home/bar/www/one/two.html
</pre>
The following directives will send redirects to the client:
<pre>
UserDir http://www.x.com/users -> http//www.x.com/users/bar/one/two.html
UserDir http://www.x.com/*/y -> http://www.x.com/y/one/two.html
</pre>
