how to config apache for ~user

[msgsbox]

I wanted to setup a web access for a user in red hat. But I don't know how to set up.

Also, can anyone tell me?
1. Do I have to use ~ (ex:

http://localdomain/~someuser)

or I can set it as (

http://someuser.localdomain)

and How?

2. How can I create cgi-bin for someuser?

I did the search form google, and could not find the answer. You help (even a link to the answer) will be highly appreciated.

Thanks. That is exactly what I want. But after I modify the httpd.conf file as below

UserDir public_html

<Directory /home/*/public_html/cgi-bin/>
Options ExecCGI
SetHandler cgi-script
</Directory>

I still could not open the web

http://domainname/~user

"404 not found"

BTW, I have made public_html where I created index.html

I got it work by restart the Appache. Thanks
