If you mean for local users to each have their own webspaces, they use a
"public_html" subdirectory in their homespace.

e.g. /home/tim/public_html/

For each user to have their own spaces, look at the Apache manual for
the "userdir" directive, and go through your SELinux settings to allow
it.

You'll access their space by appending a ~ followed by their username,
onto the end of the website domain name (or IP address).

e.g.  http://www.example.com/~tim/
      http://192.168.1.2/~tim/

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