The userdir module provides a simple way to link user-based directories into the global namespace of the webserver.
26
Requests in the form ``/~user/page.html`` are rewritten to take the file ``page.html`` from the home-directory of the user.
27
If ``userdir.path`` is set, the path will be appended at the home-directory
28
building the classic mapping of: ::
30
userdir.path = "public_html"
32
URL: http://www.example.org/~jan/index.html
33
Path: /home/jan/public_html/
35
To control which users should be able to use this feature you can set a include- or a exclude list for username.
37
In case you mapping is independent of /etc/passwd you can use
38
``userdir.basepath``: ::
40
userdir.path = "htdocs"
41
userdir.basepath = "/var/www/users/"
43
URL: http://www.example.org/~jan/index.html
44
Path: /var/www/users/jan/htdocs/index.html
50
usually it should set the "public_html" to take ~/public_html/ as the document-root
52
Default: empty (document-root is the home-directory)
55
userdir.path = "public_html"
58
list of usernames which should not be able to use this feature
60
Default: empty (all users may use it)
63
userdir.exclude-user = ( "root", "postmaster" )
67
if set, only users from this list may use the feature
69
Default: empty (all user may use it)
72
if set, don't check /etc/passwd for homedir
