I believe I did reply, but here's what I wrote last time anyway:

I changed my server.xml to include a virtual host:

<Host name="127.0.0.1">
    <Context path=""
             docBase="/usr/local/apache/htdocs"
             debug="0" />
</Host>

I don't know if this is a Good Way to do this, I'm a newbie.

UserDir stuff doesn't work-I'm thinking it could be handled 
in a servlet, but I don't know that either, so don't quote me.
