This is....

Hi. Thanks for replying. I have installed Debian just to play and learn about linux. My goal is to lean how to create users on linux and how to admin them. I didnt do anything more about users but added few users to the system by using command "useradd" (this i did as "root").So my users now can accees linux remotly using ssh or they can ftp into their file system. For example when users wants to create html document he will ftp into the server and it will be presented with his directory which is /home/username...Now at this point since user wants to create some .html file he will create "public_html" directory and add html file he created locally on his machine. Now at this point user wants to view this file on the web by going to this url ....http://www.servername.com/~username/file.html.....but he gets 404 error.
What can I as admin do to make it possible for user to be able to see file.html on the web?

       This manual page only lists the command line arguments. For details of the directives necessary to configure digest authentication in httpd
       see the Apache manual, which is part of the Apache distribution or can be found at http://httpd.apache.org/.

OPTIONS
