64    <p>The <code class="directive">UserDir</code> directive sets the real
65    directory in a user's home directory to use when a request for a
66    document for a user is received. <em>Directory-filename</em> is
67    one of the following:</p>
68
69    <ul>
70      <li>The name of a directory or a pattern such as those shown
71      below.</li>
72
73      <li>The keyword <code>disabled</code>. This turns off
74      <em>all</em> username-to-directory translations except those
75      explicitly named with the <code>enabled</code> keyword (see
76      below).</li>
77
78      <li>The keyword <code>disabled</code> followed by a
79      space-delimited list of usernames. Usernames that appear in
80      such a list will <em>never</em> have directory translation
81      performed, even if they appear in an <code>enabled</code>
82      clause.</li>
83
84      <li>The keyword <code>enabled</code> followed by a
85      space-delimited list of usernames. These usernames will have
86      directory translation performed even if a global disable is
87      in effect, but not if they also appear in a
88      <code>disabled</code> clause.</li>
89    </ul>
90
91    <p>If neither the <code>enabled</code> nor the
92    <code>disabled</code> keywords appear in the
93    <code>Userdir</code> directive, the argument is treated as a
94    filename pattern, and is used to turn the name into a directory
95    specification. A request for
96    <code>http://www.example.com/~bob/one/two.html</code> will be
97    translated to:</p>
98
99    <table>
100      <tr><th>UserDir directive used</th>
101          <th>Translated path</th></tr>
102      <tr><td>UserDir public_html</td>
103          <td>~bob/public_html/one/two.html</td></tr>
104      <tr><td>UserDir /usr/web</td>
105          <td>/usr/web/bob/one/two.html</td></tr>
106      <tr><td>UserDir /home/*/www</td>
107          <td>/home/bob/www/one/two.html</td></tr>
108    </table>
109
110    <p>The following directives will send redirects to the client:</p>
111
112    <table>
113      <tr><th>UserDir directive used</th>
114          <th>Translated path</th></tr>
115      <tr><td>UserDir http://www.example.com/users</td>
116          <td>http://www.example.com/users/bob/one/two.html</td></tr>
117      <tr><td>UserDir http://www.example.com/*/usr</td>
118          <td>http://www.example.com/bob/usr/one/two.html</td></tr>
119      <tr><td>UserDir http://www.example.com/~*/</td>
120          <td>http://www.example.com/~bob/one/two.html</td></tr>
121    </table>
122
123    <div class="note">
124      <strong>Be careful when using this directive; for instance,
125      <code>"UserDir ./"</code> would map <code>"/~root"</code> to
126      <code>"/"</code> - which is probably undesirable. It is strongly
127      recommended that your configuration include a "<code>UserDir
128      disabled root</code>" declaration.  See also the <code class="directive"><a href="/mod/core.html#directory">Directory</a></code> directive and the <a href="/misc/security_tips.html">Security Tips</a> page for
129      more information.</strong>
130    </div>
131
132    <p>Additional examples:</p>
133
134    <p>To allow a few users to have <code>UserDir</code> directories, but
135    not anyone else, use the following:</p>
136
137    <div class="example"><p><code>
138      UserDir disabled<br />
139      UserDir enabled user1 user2 user3
140    </code></p></div>
141
142    <p>To allow most users to have <code>UserDir</code> directories, but
143    deny this to a few, use the following:</p>
144
145    <div class="example"><p><code>
146      UserDir disabled user4 user5 user6
147    </code></p></div>
148
149    <p>It is also possible to specify alternative user directories.
150    If you use a command like:</p>
151
152    <div class="example"><p><code>
153      Userdir public_html /usr/web http://www.example.com/
154    </code></p></div>
155
156    <p>With a request for
157    <code>http://www.example.com/~bob/one/two.html</code>, will try to
158    find the page at <code>~bob/public_html/one/two.html</code> first, then
159    <code>/usr/web/bob/one/two.html</code>, and finally it will send a
160    redirect to <code>http://www.example.com/bob/one/two.html</code>.</p>
161
162    <p>If you add a redirect, it must be the last alternative in the list.
163    Apache cannot determine if the redirect succeeded or not, so if you have
164    the redirect earlier in the list, that will always be the alternative
165    that is used.</p>
166
167    <p>User directory substitution is not active by default in versions
168    2.1.4 and later.  In earlier versions, <code>UserDir public_html</code>
169    was assumed if no <code class="directive"><a href="#userdir">UserDir</a></code>
170    directive was present.</p>
