Topic: web access to user dir

[mongolito404]

Hi,
my e-smith box is running perfectly but some of my user want to do PHP dev. so they need directory with web acces. I can create an private ebay for each of them, but what a want is an acces like http://www.myserver.mydomain/~username wich is something that i know is possible with Linux & Apache. When i try this kind of address I get a HTTP error 403 (file acces denied).
I know I have to set something in the /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf, and to modify the template for that files, but i don't knows which Apache directive to use. Does somebody knows how to do? Or maybe where to look for help?
