How does ip/~username point to public_html instead of /home/username in server.

Solution : Its done by “UserDir”

httpd.conf might have an entry as below :

=================

root@server [~]# grep UserDir /usr/local/apache/conf/httpd.conf
UserDir public_html
root@server [~]#

=========================

Thats what is specifying the document root.

By default "UserDir" is enabled.

To disable we can use :

UserDir disabled user4 user5 user6
