[Discuss] apache server

[Greg Rundlett (freephile)]

Apache also has a module (mod_userdir) and related directives for serving
content from user home directories.  See
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/current/howto/public_html.html

If you remove the symbolic link 'moylan' and specify (in httpd.conf, or
conf.d/mysite.conf)
UserDir www

Then
sudo a2enmod userdir
sudo apache2ctl reload

you should be able to browse what's in moylan/www by requesting
localhost/~moylan/
