How can I change /~username to /usr/username?

[koei]

Been having some trouble trying to get this to work...
I am trying to get the default www.mydomain.com/~blah to change to the form www.mydomain.com/usr/blah where blah would be a user on the linux box. I am not sure if this is doable by rewrite. Can anyone give me some tips on how this can be done?

if you actually read the apache rewrite guide, you will find the solution to your question. Although it's not exaclty the same, it is very similiar.

I will give you a hint
RewriteRule ^~(.*) to the requested url

Here's the Apache URL Rewriting Guide [httpd.apache.org] that woro2006 mentioned.
