webdav problems

[ronjon]

I set up webdav as in the webdav howto in the forums: https://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-338668-highlight-webdav.html

but when i try to connect from a windows 2000 box to the server i get this error The folder you entered does not appear to be valid.

i created the folder, and the alias, did the chown but running ngrep port 80 gives me these errors every time:

hi man,

that vti_bin you seem to get (and i could be wrong) when you ad trailing slashes to your dav folders, like here is my config file, check it out, maybe you can get it running

so if you add it like this it would make problems:

Alias /winston/ "/mnt/data/public/" <----------NOTE THE TRAILING SLASHES - !

My version:
Server version: Apache/2.0.55

you can put EVERYTHING in vhost.conf easier then you only have to edit one file...

###DAV ENTRIES/DIRECTIVES###

Alias /winston "/mnt/data/public"

<Location /winston>
DAV On
Options None
AllowOverride None
AuthType Basic
AuthName "Winston's Dav dir"
AuthUserFile /etc/apache2/dav.htpasswd
DAVDepthInfinity off
LimitXMLRequestBody 100000
#<Limit DELETE>
# require user winston
#</Limit>
<Limit PUT POST PROPFIND DELETE PROPPATCH MKCOL COPY MOVE>
require user winston
</Limit>
</Location>

and the rest of the stuff i keep in /etc/apache2/modules.d/45_mod_dav.conf

winston ssl # cat /etc/apache2/modules.d/45_mod_dav.conf
<IfDefine DAV>
<IfModule !mod_dav.c>
LoadModule dav_module modules/mod_dav.so
</IfModule>
</IfDefine>

<IfDefine DAV_FS>
<IfModule !mod_dav_fs.c>
LoadModule dav_fs_module modules/mod_dav_fs.so
</IfModule>
</IfDefine>

<IfModule mod_dav.c>

DavMinTimeout 600
# <Location /mypages>
# Options None
# Dav On
# <Limit PUT POST DELETE PROPFIND PROPPATCH MKCOL COPY MOVE LOCK UNLOCK>
# Require user greg
# </Limit>
# </Location>

</IfModule>

<IfModule mod_dav_fs.c>

# Location of the WebDAV lock database.
DavLockDB /var/lib/dav/lockdb

</IfModule>

also, i had to create the file /var/lib/dav/lockdb

touch it, like so

touch /var/lib/dav/lockdb
and then chown it apache apache or whatever the webserver is running at!

and that should work, oh, you have o htpasswd2 -cd /location/of/passwd/file username
'c' is to CREATE the file so be carefull with that,

i hope this helps man..only the best for you!
