Fedora 10 Apache2 WebDAV

[progkix]

I've followed the steps outline in the article about setting up WebDAV in Apache2 on Fedora 10 but I'm not having any luck in successfully testing it.

The dav and dav_fs modules are enabled in httpd.conf.

Here's the VirtualHost segment from httpd.conf:

<VirtualHost *:80>
DocumentRoot /var/www/web/dav/
ServerAdmin webmaster@sdps-bbs.com
<Directory /var/www/web/dav/>
Options Indexes MultiViews
AllowOverride None
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>

Alias /webdav /var/www/web/dav

<Location /webdav/>
DAV On
AuthType Basic
AuthName "WebDAV Restricted"
AuthUserFile /var/www/web/passwd.dav
Require valid-user
</Location>
</VirtualHost>

And here's the output from the cadaver test:

csmith@lnx7 : ~ ==> cadaver http://localhost/dav
Could not access /dav/ (not WebDAV-enabled?):
405 Method Not Allowed
Connection to `localhost' closed.


Any clues or ideas would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance

Do you have any other vhosts in your Apache configuration, or is this the only one?

[progkix]

Falko,

I have 3 or 4 other vhosts in my Apache configuration.

Make sure that the WebDAV vhost is listed as the first one in your Apache configuration, or add a ServerName directive to it.

[progkix]

Moved it to the top of the vhost list but that made my main site inaccessible.

Also tried giving it a ServerName directive and that didn't work either.

Thanks

Can you post your vhost configurations here?

Add

ServerName localhost

to the WebDAV vhost and check if the cadaver thing is working then.

[progkix]

Woohoo - it does work.

I love HowtoForge. I get so much excellent help here. I'm glad I decided to pay up!

Many thanks once again.

If you want to connect from outside, you must also add a hostname that is accessible from outside with a ServerAlias directive:

ServerAlias webdav.example.com
