i tried with and without, both were borked in various ways. i've
checked dns too, and the only ip there is is for the machine in
question, so that's not it either.

sure does, and i even ran a2enmod again to make sure, and cd'ed to it,
etc. it's enabled.

i hope so, frankly. i was kinda hoping to not have to enable
DocumentRoot for it because of the problems that caused. i was trying
to emulate UserDir, since that's only giving me headaches.
the dir layout i want to work with/ implement is
/home/$USER/public_html/pub/ (so ~$USER/bin/ can be served up by
http://FQDN/users/bin/ as CGI scripts). as soon as i insert that pub/
it breaks.i've tried allowing for it with regexen, but no luck.
