To Give Individuals Their Own Public HTML Directory...
...use the following alias. It serves "/PLACE/on/SYSTEM" at http://hostname/entropy, instead of a directory named "entropy" in the base web directory. (The base web directory is typically /var/www/html by default, in CentOS)
This allows public html directories to exist in user home directories, rather than only in directories that require root (sudo) permissions.
sudo emacs /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf Just before other aliases in /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf add:
Alias /entropy "/PLACE/on/SYSTEM"
<Directory "/PLACE/on/SYSTEM">
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>
