How to setting up webdav within a ispconfig web?

[virtualweb]

hi,

i have a web called "ssl.example.com" and a certificate for that domain.

ispconfig uses https://ssl.example.com:81

i created a web "ssl.example.com", it is availiable (over apache2).

i want to use webdav for that domain (apache2). i tried to put the directives in the directives field but it will be commented out:

-----
# DavLockDB /var/log/DavLock/DavLockDB # NOT SUPPORTED!
# <Location /var/www/ssl.example.com/dav> # NOT SUPPORTED!
# Dav On # NOT SUPPORTED!
# </Location> # NOT SUPPORTED!
-----

apache -t says "Invalid command 'DavLockDB'".

what is the correct way to enable webdav?

tia.

Is mod_dav loaded via AddModule or sth. like that?
For more maybe that helps on mod_dav questions: http://www.webdav.org/mod_dav/install.html

Got it to work in a non ispconfig with three basic steps
One..a2enmod dav
Two..Add line once to httpd.conf
DAVLockDB /tmp/DAVLock
Three..
Add directories
Alias /ifnl /var/var/www/web10/ifnl_dav
<Location /ifnaturallearning>
DAV On
</Location>
But I get this error with ISPConfig
Syntax error on line 6 of /etc/apache2/httpd.conf:
Invalid command 'DAVLockDB', perhaps mis-spelled or defined by a module not included in the server configuration
Maybe I need to do it via the ISP Web interface?
Oh well I will keep trying...
Also litmus test gives a 450 error if I put the above in the ispconfig for that site and test?

Syntax error on line 6 of /etc/apache2/httpd.conf:

This means that mod_dav is not loaded. Plese install mod_dav from your linux distribution.

This module is already enabled! <--it put the explanation point not me.
But am I doing this in the right place ie not via a place in ISPConfig but in Apache at the console level.
????
Thanks for the reply though.
PS if anyone has gotten it to work and then create per client settings maybe they could do a how to on this?

For Ubuntu I followed this
http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=119228&highlight=webdav
Now I get a 404 error but this is a bit better....

If it is enabled already, there's no need to add it to /etc/apache2/httpd.conf.

What's in /etc/apache2/httpd.conf now?

Ubuntu having a how to in the forum led to
One...
httpd.conf was left alone ie it is default
Two...
dav_fs conf looked like this
root@server1:/etc/apache2/mods-enabled# more dav_fs.conf
#DAVLockDB /var/lock/apache2/DAVLock
DAVLockDB /tmp/DAVLock
#DAVMinTimeout 600
#Alias /ifnl_dav /var/www/web11/web/aliasfolder/ifnl
#<Location /ifnl_dav>
# Dav On
# AuthType Basic
# AuthName *username*
# AuthUserFile /var/www/web11/web/alisfolder/.DAVlogin
# <LimitExcept PUT GET OPTIONS>
# Require user *username*
# </LimitExcept>
#</Location>
-----end paste
BUT even though this did not work I then went into ispconfig and used it's web interface to add this setting to the ONE client I want to have this access.
Stilll no luck though here is a litmus error
alfred@alfed:~$ litmus http://domainname/aliasfolder username password
-> running `basic':
0. init.................. pass
1. begin................. FAIL (Could not create new collection `/ifnl/litmus/' for tests: 302 Found
Server must allow `MKCOL /ifnl/litmus/' for tests to proceed)
<- summary for `basic': of 2 tests run: 1 passed, 1 failed. 50.0%
See debug.log for network/debug traces.

Thanks in advance

Well almost done...
Seems if I just focused on the file...
/etc/apache2/mods-available/dav_fs.conf
It worked
For better or for worse I added to /etc/apache2/apache.conf
BrowserMatch "^WebDAVFS/1.[012]" redirect-carefully
BrowserMatch "^WebDAVFS/1.[012]" redirect-carefully
BrowserMatch "Microsoft-WebDAV-MiniRedir/5.1.2600" redirect-carefully
