The usual place.

If you're using the userdirs feature, you don't need to mess with
aliasing it.

i.e. http://localhost/~tim/ refers to /home/tim/public_html/

For that to work, /home/ and /home/tim/ needs to be world executable.
And, /home/tim/public_html/ needs to be world executable and readable,
likewise any files to be served in there need to be world readable.
These are the permissions applied to "other" users.

Also, you may need to change SELinux settings or contexts for those
files.

You can use aliases, or the userdir direcctive.

Don't send private replies to my address, the mailbox is ignored.
I read messages from the public lists.
