See the suggestions offered in the other replies, but also remember that
the user's ~/public_html directory has to be readable by the user
running the apache process (typically 'www'). Many people on a
multi-user machine do "chmod 700 ~" to keep others from snooping around
in their home directory, but this also keeps apache from being able to
read the web pages in ~/public_html.
