Check /usr/local/www/server/conf/srm.conf:
=====
# UserDir: The name of the directory which is appended onto a user's home
# directory if a ~user request is recieved.
UserDir public_html
# DirectoryIndex: Name of the file or files to use as a pre-written HTML
# directory index. Separate multiple entries with spaces.
DirectoryIndex index.html
=====
So, you want to create a public_html directory in carlt's home
directory, and in it, name the file index.html instead of Index.html.
