In srm.conf you put 

UserDir public_html


Then all each user must do is create a subdirectory in their home
directory called public_html and place their files in that subdirectory.
The URL uses ~userid - example:

http://www.sompeplace.com/~david/Welcome.html

Would pull up Welcome.html from public_html unde ryour home directory.

All files my be world readable (I think read and executeable) -ie 
chmod 755
