      I'm hoping an apache expert may be able to help me.

      Following tutorials on how to set up apache to access a web page
      development directory in my /home/user file system using
      <VirtualHost>.

      
      <VirtualHost *:80>

          ServerAdmin user@localhost

          DocumentRoot /var/www/html/mydirectory

          ServerName localhost

          ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/error.log

          CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/access.log combined

      </VirtualHost>

      
      I do not wish to change <DirectoryRoot> in httpd.conf.

      
      I loaded the config files (ubuntu and apple) as per web tutorials,
      reset and restarted apache. 

      Have the correct paths in <Directory "/a/b/c"> 

      But in a browser localhost/directory/index.html  always reports
      error: Not Found
      
      The requested URL /directory was not found on this server.

    
    Here is what I do:

    
    cat <<EOF>/etc/httpd/conf.d/00-init.conf || exit 1

    ServerAdmin me@fqdn

    ServerName fqdn:80

    # NameVirtualHost *:80

    # NameVirtualHost *:443

    EOF

    
    then in the main httpd.conf:

    
    #

    # UserDir: The name of the directory that is appended onto a user's
    home

    # directory if a ~user request is received.

    #

    # The path to the end user account 'public_html' directory must be

    # accessible to the webserver userid.  This usually means that
    ~userid

    # must have permissions of 711, ~userid/public_html must have
    permissions

    # of 755, and documents contained therein must be world-readable.

    # Otherwise, the client will only receive a "403 Forbidden" message.

    #

    # See also: http://httpd.apache.org/docs/misc/FAQ.html#forbidden

    #

    <IfModule mod_userdir.c>

        #

        # UserDir is disabled by default since it can confirm the
    presence

        # of a username on the system (depending on home directory

        # permissions).

        #

    #    UserDir disable

    
        #

        # To enable requests to /~user/ to serve the user's public_html

        # directory, remove the "UserDir disable" line above, and
    uncomment

        # the following line instead:

        # 

        UserDir public_html

    
    </IfModule>

    
    #

    # Control access to UserDir directories.  The following is an
    example

    # for a site where these directories are restricted to read-only.

    #

    <Directory /home/*/public_html>

        AllowOverride FileInfo AuthConfig Limit

        Options MultiViews Indexes SymLinksIfOwnerMatch IncludesNoExec

        <Limit GET POST OPTIONS>

            Order allow,deny

            Allow from all

        </Limit>

        <LimitExcept GET POST OPTIONS>

            Order deny,allow

            Deny from all

        </LimitExcept>

    </Directory>

    
    then don't for get permissions.

    
    chmod 711 /home/me
