Thank you Pete! Creating the user subdirectory worked well, however,
when I tried the symbolic link I received the same error. It is very
strange. I checked the directories. All have 755 permissions as well
as public_html directories and index.html files. An interesting side
note is that the directory function works in the var/www/html directory
whereas it does not at the ~user level.

Hi,
this might sound silly, but since you get a 404, do the users have a
~/public_html directory?
Also, as Ryan stated, it could be a permission if the apache user cannot
execute dirs down into the public_html dir.
Another option is to create a web space, say /var/www/html/joeuser, then make
it owned by the user & group.
Next make a sym link:
ln -s /var/www/html/joeuser ~joe/public_html
The idea is that first, the user does not need world readable dir's in his
home, and also, the url does not need to have the ~username in it does not
give away user id's which helps with security.
