Hi Dotan, 

why do you want to do this? 

If you want to give the user the possiblity to develop websites locally (and 
for instance use php within them properly), the easiest way I know is to 
creat a directory named public_html in the home-directory of the user. 

This folder can be reached with a browser at http://localhost/~[name of the 
user]

Best regards, 

Claudia
