Is there a way to configure Apache and mod_userdir to not use ~

Question

I am using Apache 2.4 on RHEL8 to give users there own web pages. Right now the URL looks like example.com/~username. Is there a way to setup Apache and mod_userdir so that the ~ is not used? I'd like for the URLs to look like example.com/username

Thank you,

Mike

No, but you can roll your own:

AliasMatch ^/(user1|...|usern)(/.*|$) /home/$1$2 

See AliasMatch. If that doesn't meet your needs, you can do it more flexibly with mod_rewrite.
