Assuming you mean something like having a <VirtualHost> for 'www.example.com', and having user directories such as 'http://www.example.com/~user1/' and so on, look in the default httpd.conf for the UserDir directive (documentation for this is at [httpd.apache.org ]). If you mean something else, you'll need to provide examples of exactly what you're trying to do.

and i want to make it Userdir

This functionality is, as I mentioned above, controlled by the UserDir directive. The documentation (link is above) contains the configuration details for that directive. Note that:

Context: server config, virtual host

Means that the directive is only valid is the main server config area and within a <VirtualHost> container; it's /not/ valid in <Directory> or <Location> containers.
