Can any one tell me -

Is the Users Dir feature of Apache whereby each user can have their own web directory (commonly called public_html) available in the Windows version?

All the documentation refers to Unix directories, and I would like to know whether Apache will meet my needs before setting it up on my Windows 2003 server.

Many thanks for any help.

Under Windows that should set to
userdir "C:/Documents and Settings/*/www"
the www folder could have another name like public_html or htdocs or what ever.

Notice that mod_userdir works with existing user from the OS! I haven't tested it yet with "fake" user that only created by making a folder in C:/Documents and Settings/ like user1

For that see http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/mod/mod_userdir.html
and http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/howto/public_html.html
