Typically it’s http://x.x.x.x/~username/ in Apache… 

The page you linked to is not the homedir example you want.
Check out mod_userdir: http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/mod/mod_userdir.html

I used this article ( http://tuxtweaks.com/2009/07/how-to-configure-apache-linux/ ) to allow access to personal home folders, i.e., not the default /var/www/...  That works fine on the same machine. My problem is I want to be able to do this trick across my Wifi network. That is, I want to access my apache web server from another machine into one of the home directories. Going to http://192.168.0.x works, but goes to /var/www , but http://192.168.0.x/homedir/ gives a "Not found" error. Again, on the apache machine itself this works fine, i.e., http://homedir/  (as described in the Tux Tweaks article). I thought of adding a line to /etc/hosts to tell about 192.168.0.x homedir, but that didn't work. Any ideas?
