Re: Shifting User directories in apache

Hi Matthew,
     Thanks for this but it doesn't solve my question.
Perhaps I should explain it a bit more.

A user has there web presence on the filesystem at:
    /home/user/public_html/

By default apache uses: userdir public_html
to index into the filesystem by: http://domain/~user/

I still want the user to keep there home directory at: 
/home/user/public_html
but want the web address to access this to be: http://domain/people/user

Setting: userdir http://domain/people
Causes a redirect of http://domain/~user -> http://domain/people/user
however, nothing exists at that address.

How can I make user directories accessable via 
http://domain/people/[username]

???

Cheers,
    Benjamin
