Don't put the trailing slash on the directory name, it's not part of the
name...

I suppose i should point out that this probably won't work the way you are
hoping in any event, different sites are owned by different users, you are
asking the web server to read someone elses files....

If you are making them available to all users , you might be better off
using Alias in the server config, which will make the web server 'prtend'
that directory exists but will in fact read the contents from elsewhere
eg:

Alias /neomail /home/neomail/html


is how neomail pretends to be on all the web sites when in fact it only
exists in one place...
