That's what I have it set to and it isn't honoring that. That's part of
what is bothering me (and what I suspect the issue might be).

I did, but now I have both in the httpd-userdir.conf to no avail, same
with main conf.

I don't remember, but I was so frustrated I wasn't really paying that
much attention (it's been a month since I tried ports Apache).


Alright, here is the errors I'm getting (I set the loglevel to debug
instead of just warn):

[Thu Feb 18 14:01:01 2010] [notice] Apache/2.2.14 (Unix) configured --

UserDir file configuration:

UserDir disabled
UserDir enabled user1 user2
^^^^^<--- Those options as per the UserDir section in the manual, just
added them not two minutes before typing this out
UserDir public_html

#
# Control access to UserDir directories.  The following is an example

    <Limit GET POST OPTIONS>

        Allow from all

    <LimitExcept GET POST OPTIONS>
        Order deny,allow
        Deny from all
    </LimitExcept>
</Directory>


This really stinks. Is Apache 1.13 available? I don't remember having
these problems with it.
