For http://server/~user support you need to load the apache's mod_user 
in your httpd.conf see http://www.apache.org for more info.

The apache user (typically nobody or www-data ) must have read permissions 
on the ~/public_html directory. DirectoryListing is disabled by default so 
if you want to show the directory listing when the index.html is missing 
you'll need to enable it with "options +Indexes"

example:

<Directory /home/*/public_html>
		options Indexes
</Directory>

will enable directory listing for all users homepages.
