Enabling user Sites folder

Question

I would like to enable the "old style" http://my.server.org/~username configuration so users can share the contents of their Sites folder in OS X Mavericks server.
So far I have succeeded in getting it to work for Open Directory users by editing /Library/Server/Web/Config/apache2/httpd_server_app.conf and uncommenting these two lines:
Include /private/etc/apache2/extra/httpd-userdir.conf
and
LoadModule apple_userdir_module ${SERVER_INSTALL_PATH_PREFIX}/usr/libexec/apache2/mod_userdir_apple.so
Once I did that Local Network Users' (Open Directory Users) sites are accessible at http://my.server.org/~username but sites of Active Directory users are not.
Does anyone have any suggestions?

Answer 1

Using your text editor, create a new document. Type following text
<Directory "/Users/username/Sites/">
Options Indexes MultiViews
AllowOverride None
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>
where you replace username by your username. Save it as a text document on your Desktop with name username.conf
Go to Finder, select Go menu, Go to folder item. Type /etc/apache2/users. A Finder window will open. Drag your username.conf file from the Desktop to this folder.
Authenticate when ask.
That's all.
You probably (not sure) will have to stop and start Web sharing (in Preferences) to access your personal site
http://servername_oraddress/~username/
Hope this helps.
