Webdav problem

[lano]

I'm trying to get webdav working in 2.2.30, but no luck.
Reseller have webdav enabled, do does site and user.

Vhosts_ispconfig.conf automaticly added following lines:

<IfModule mod_dav.c>
       Alias /webdav /var/www/web12/web
        <Location /webdav>
           DAV On
           AuthType Basic
           AuthName "webdav"
           AuthUserFile /var/www/web12/passwd.dav
           Require valid-user
       </Location>
</IfModule>

in /var/www/web12 passwd.dav exists.

dav and dav_fs is enabled.
When I try to connect to http://www.mydomain.tld:80/webdav I'm required to enter username/pass, but then I get error

 The folder you entered does not appear to be valid. Please choose another.

Client is WinXP

Any idea?

Any errors in the web site's error log?
Did you enable WebDAV for the user, and do you use the correct username and password?

Error log of my website throws this:

Note, that I manualy changed my IP in this post.

I noticed, that passwd.dav was 640. I changed permission to 644, and logon to webdav folders went sucesfull.
However, I also noticed, that I can copy files only to folders with 777.

As you might read above, webdav didnt work for me at first place, so I fixed problem by changing permission passwd.dav to 664.
Then, I also remembered, that some users would like to have webdav folder seperate from web folder (hide web files from the others) and enabled to users to see it.
Here is the solution that worked for me.
My website is /var/www/web12 and webdav folder is /var/www/web12/web/share

First we check, that "WebDAV" is disabled for your site.

Then we create "share" folder (or whatever you want to name it, but dont forget to change alias) and change permission to 777
In the apache directives (vhosts) we put:

<IfModule mod_dav.c>
       Alias /webdav /var/www/web12/web/share
        <Location /webdav>
           DAV On
           AuthType Basic
           AuthName "Members Only"
           AuthUserFile /var/www/web12/.htpasswd
           Require valid-user
       </Location>
</IfModule>

Change web12 to whatever it suites you.

Save and it should work.
You can conect it just the same, to http://www.yourdomain.tld:80/webdav if you are using Windows machine.

Can you check /etc/group if your Apache user is a member of the group web12? If it is, you shouldn't need all those permission changes.

[lano]

cat /etc/group
...
web12:x:10012:admispconfig,myusername
...

All groups have only adminispconfig and administrator username of the specific website.

Should there be also www-data user at every website (web**)?

Yes, for every web site that has WebDAV enabled.

Which distribution are you using?

[lano]

I checked.
When I enable WebDAV, there are users adminispconfig, siteuser and root (not www-data).
Distro is Etch, perfect setup, perfect working (except webdav glitch)

[falko]

Can you post the output of

ls -la /etc/apache2

?
