Are accesses to the root of your webserver working? If not, start with that and don't try anything fancy until you have the basics working. UserDir only works for URLs with the "~" character, like http://server.example.com/~user/. What you want is probably a simple Alias: Alias /username /full/path/to/directory If that doesn't work, tell us *exactly* what you tried and what the result was, including the contents of the access and error logs.
