Thanks. After doing what you suggest I can see a directory
listing of http://www-demo.cchem.berkeley.edu/username/ which
shows the index.html file. However, if I click on index.html
I get a "404 Not Found" error, and the error log says

File does not exist: 
/users/chemweb/apache2/http-cchem/htdocs/username/index.html

The rewrite log says:

(2) init rewrite engine with requested uri /username/index.html
  (3) applying pattern '^(.+)$' to uri '/username/index.html'
  (2) rewrite '/username/index.html' -> '/username/index.html/public_html/'
  (2) local path result: /username/index.html/public_html/
  (2) prefixed with document_root to 
/users/chemweb/apache2/http-cchem/htdocs/username/index.html/public_html/

I don't think the rewrite rule I'm using is correct.

Cordially,
