How does ISPConfig 3.0.3 enable WebDav?

[ferrao]

Got it working finally!

To summarize,

1) You can not eliminate the user prefix from System/Interface Config, it will not work.
2) Contrary to what the user manual says, you HAVE to specify a directory.
3) You need to mount the volume with the URL <your_virtual_host>/<directory>

I would like to use webdav for accessing my html-files and scripts, not for other storage. Is that an option?

Would this tutorial work:

Should I need to change the group of the website from "client1" to "apache" for this to work? And would that give any problems?

No. The reason for that is that apc runs unser the apache user and not the website user. So apc has no write permissions to the website directory.

This would disable the security layer which separates the websites, so it is a security issue if you would do that. So this change is only an option for inhouse servers without a connection to the internet.

Ok, thanks! I think I'll use it on my homeserver then, thas is used for development, but not on our dedicated webserver (ftp should be good enough for that). Would be very nice if it could be implemented in ISPConfig though...
