Setting up UserDir on Nginx

Posted by Anurag in

Nginx doesn't have mod_userdir like Apache, but the behavior can be emulated by the following configuration snippet.



# userdir simulation

location ~ /~([^/]+)($|/.*)$ {

  alias /home/$1/public_html$2;

  error_page 404 = @404;

  autoindex on;

}

location @404 {

  return 404;

}

Putting these location directives in a virtual host config section will let the virtual host publish user's public_html directories.
