- Edit the /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf file.
- Change the ‘UserDir disabled’ line to ‘UserDir enabled <username>’.
Uncomment the ‘UserDir public_html’ line.
Also uncomment the whole ‘<Directory /home/*/public_html>’section until the ‘</Directory>’. - Apply the proper permissions:
# chmod 711 ~<username>
# chmod 755 -R ~<username>/public_html/ - Run the following commands so SELinux wouldn’t bother you:
# setsebool -P httpd_enable_homedirs true
# chcon -R -t httpd_sys_content_t ~<username>/public_html # It looks like it’s not necessary. See dgrift’s comments below. - Extra Tip: It looks like on PHP versions >= 5.3.0, to allow the short tag ‘<?’ we need to set ‘short_open_tag = On’ in the /etc/php.ini.
Restart the httpd service and after it you should be able to access http://localhost/~<username>/
