Just got around to updating to the last update of the Apache distribution.

Apparently what was added was:

< <Directory "/Users/*/Sites">
---
> <Directory "/home/*/Sites”>

I.e. “/home”

On my system, I do  have a /home directory, however it is empty, while /Users has the full compliment of users.

My system was “built from scratch,” not upgraded from MacOS.

Not a big deal, but it might be worth pointing out in the port “notes,” that

The /opt/local/etc/apache2/extra/httpd-userdir.conf file defaults to the MacOS naming convention of “/home” rather than the OSX naming convention of “/Users."
