HTTP from Home folders

[Katsu Tanda]

Well I got it to work and I should have looked at the
config file more closly cause it was all there. 
However I seem to have a problem. When i link to to a
file, for example a picture img.jpg, it links to my
domain rather than the user folder.

home/user/public_html/index.html
home/user/public_html/img.jpg

so I have the code img src="/img.jpg"
it links that to mydomain.com/img.jpg rather than the
one in the user folder. So i have to link it like
src="/~user/img.jpg" to get it to work right. I don't
really want my users to have to link like that cause
its kinda inconveinent.

By the way, thanks for the quick reply
Katsu

oh, i use the default config,
UserDir public_html

maybe i should do
UserDir /home/*/public_html
?
