User Directories
UNIX and Windows use different methods for supporting users and user directories. In Apache, you use the UserDir directive to specify the location of user directories. Windows does not support the same method. Instead, you must use Alias directives to map a user directory in the ~user format that is used in Apache for UNIX.
