    You might try this:

    RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^/([^~/]+?(?:/.*|$)) /~$1 [L]

    Warning: the above will rewrite every url to ~url regardless of if the user exists, so if you go to http://IP/exampleurl it will rewrite that to http://IP/~exampleurl, It only checks if a file or a directory exists there.

    You really should use your hosts file instead of mod_userdir if you’re trying to view a site before updating the DNS, or before you have a domain for it.

    I can guarantee that mod_userdir will always end up being the unnecessarily difficult solution for this.

    This is a guide for using your hosts file instead of mod_userdir:
