There may not be such a file, but there should be a UserDir directive 
somewhere in one of the *.conf or *.cf files in that directory.

Try 'grep UserDir /etc/apache2/conf.d/*' and see what you get. My guess 
is, there'll be at least one line returned, but it'll be commented out. 
My advice would be to open the file that contains it, look for that 
line, and look for comments right before it.
