Our server (Centos 7) server Apache Userdir is enabled and developers were able to host a web applications in their home directory. However this changed when Gitlab 7 was installed on the server using the existing Apache not Nginx. Developers can no longer access their web applications on the browser. Any url of the form http://192.168.109.38/~user/web_app1 is redirected to http://192.168.109.38//users/sign_in - Gitlab sign-in page.
gitlab.conf content:

We have also tried to use AliasMatch after disabling UserDir like shown below but still is not working
AliasMatch ^/~([a-z]+)/(.*) /home/$1/public_html/$2
AliasMatch ^/~([a-z]+)$ /home/$1/public_html/
The community out there any assistance on this will be greatly appreciated.
