Sorry if this has already been answered but I am days behind reading
this group.

You need to add  at the bottom of the access.conf file:

<Direcory /home/*>
Options Indexes ExecCGI FollowSymLinks
</Directory>

ExecCGI allows user CGI scripts, omit this if you don't want to allow
it.  Likewise FollowSymLinks.  Indexes is minimum needed to see user
home pages.
