+
+Description
+===========
+
+The userdir module provides a simple way to link user-based directories into the global namespace of the webserver.
+
+Requests in the form ``/~user/page.html`` are rewritten to take the file ``page.html`` from the home directory of the user.
+If ``userdir.path`` is set, the path will be appended to the home directory
+building the classic mapping of: ::
+
+ userdir.path = "public_html"
+
+ URL: http://www.example.org/~jan/index.html
+ Path: /home/jan/public_html/
+
+To control which users should be able to use this feature you can set a list of usernames to include or exclude.
+
+In case your mapping is independent of /etc/passwd you can use
+``userdir.basepath``: ::
+
+ userdir.path = "htdocs"
+ userdir.basepath = "/var/www/users/"
+
+ URL: http://www.example.org/~jan/index.html
+ Path: /var/www/users/jan/htdocs/index.html
+
+Options
+=======
+
+userdir.path (required option)
+ usually it should be set to "public_html" to take ~/public_html/ as the document root
+
+ Default: unset (mod_userdir disabled; set it to "" if you want the home directory to be the document root as it was the default before 1.4.19)
+ Example: ::
+
+ userdir.path = "public_html"
+
+userdir.exclude-user
+ list of usernames which may not use this feature
+
+ Default: empty (all users may use it)
+ Example: ::
+
+ userdir.exclude-user = ( "root", "postmaster" )
+
+
+userdir.include-user
+ if set, only users from this list may use the feature
+
+ Default: empty (all users may use it)
+
+userdir.basepath
+ if set, don't check /etc/passwd for homedir
