Hi all,

I am having some troubles configuring webdav on a production server. It worked well in a testing environment, and I am having the same configuration of ezpublish, so it may be a server problem.

in override/webdav.ini.append.php

[GeneralSettings]
EnableWebDAV=true
Logging=enabled

In my httpd.conf (in ezpublish virtual server section)

RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule . /webdav.php

No matter which url I use in konqueror (valid or not), I get the following error:
An error occurred while loading webdav://example.com/fsr02/Content/visiteurs:
The file or folder webdav://example.com/fsr02/Content/visiteurs does not exist.

If I type webdav://example.com/fsr02/, I am asked for a username and password, but I get the same error message once logged.

In cadaver, I get this error:
Could not access /fsr02/ (not WebDAV-enabled?):
207 Multi-Status

I did some debugging and found out that in file ezwebdavserver.php, function outputSendDataToClient, $output variable isn't correctly initialized ($output['data'] === false). I guess this is linked to the issue.

I found this: http://issues.ez.no/5640
Which may be related, but I'm really not sure.

Does someone have hints to help me ?

Thanks

Hi Patrice,

Detailed infromation how to setup webdav you can find in on-line documentation:
http://ez.no/doc/ez_publish/technical_manual/3_8/features/webdav/setting_it_up

What version of eZ publish and Konqueror do you use?

eZ Publish 3.9.0 WevDAV with Konqueror 3.5.x works fine with setup mention in documentation.

Hi Lukasz,

I'm using ez 3.9.0, konqueror 3.5.2

I followed the guide you pointed me. Here's my virtual host for webdav:

<Virtualhost *:80>
        <Directory /path/to/ezpublish-3.9.0>
                Options FollowSymLinks Indexes ExecCGI
                AllowOverride None
        </Directory>
        DocumentRoot /path/to/ezpublish-3.9.0
        RewriteEngine On
        RewriteRule . /webdav.php
        ServerAdmin admin@example.com
        ServerName webdav.example.com
        CustomLog "/home/webadmin/logs/webdav_access_log" "combined"
        ErrorLog "/home/webadmin/logs/webdav_error_log"
</VirtualHost>

Server asks for a username once, then nothing change. Here is the virtual server access log

x.x.x.x - - [05/Mar/2007:09:16:45 -0500] "PROPFIND /fsr02/ HTTP/1.1" 401 - "-" "Mozilla/5.0 (compatible; Konqueror/3.5; Linux) KHTML/3.5.2 (like Gecko) Kubuntu 6.06 Dapper"

Nothing in error log

webdav.log has

2007-03-05 09:16:46 : ========================================

Any idea ?

Thanks

Well, the first "page" (before authentication) is supposed to offer you all the siteaccess you have on your config.

Is it the case on your test ?

Otherwise, have a look at the log into your var/siteaccess folder

Hi Xavier,

Yes, in my test environment, I see siteaccess without having to enter a username/password. But not on prod, always the
The file or folder webdav://example.com/ does not exist.

And nothing in siteaccess log, or error/warning general logs..

I found out something:

in ezwebdavserver.php, function processClientRequest(), $_SERVER["REQUEST_METHOD"] is set to GET (I can see it in webdav.log), even if in apache log I get something like 

x.x.x.x - - [07/Mar/2007:16:26:31 -0500] "PROPFIND / HTTP/1.1" 207 7729 "-" "Mozilla/5.0 (compatible; Konqueror/3.5; Linux) KHTML/3.5.2 (like Gecko) Kubuntu 6.06 Dapper"

So I hard coded in this function 

$_SERVER["REQUEST_METHOD"] = "PROPFIND";

Surprise: I get the list of siteaccesses.

Someone has an idea how I can end up in this function with $_SERVER["REQUEST_METHOD"] set to GET when the access is actually PROPFIND ? some apache config ?

thanks
Patrice

Well, that's seems to be something around apache indeed.

What's the diff between the prod and the dev ?

I don't have any idea, about what could be the problem. What's your apache config ? php as cgi or module ? ...

On the prod, it works fine with my apache 1.x, I'll try on the dev with lighttpd+fastcgi to see how it reacts...
