I found this odd as well on apache13 a while ago. UserDir is enabled by default for apache13 and will only be 'disabled' if you set it disabled explicitly in httpd.conf: UserDir disabled Otherwise, ~/public_html Otherwise the httpd will serve up requests for: http://example.com/~user/ from: ~user/public_html on the local file system. > Why is this happening? I presume it happens because apache is built with defaults set so that UserDir is enabled by default. If you don't want UserDir enabled, probably the easiest thing to do is just disable it as above.
