Is it possible to set up webdav for ez on a hosted site?

Would I need to get my ISP to add the changes to the httpd.conf file in their Apache setup?

Is there an override?

Cheers,

Fraser

You need to have a separate virtualhost for webdav. So, yes this needs to be set up in httpd.conf. You can override the httpd.conf with a .htaccess file.

The reason for this is that the WebDav clients does not support connecting to webdav.php. It needs to be a separate host.

Thanks Bård,

How would I set up the override? I couldn't find anything on this in the documentation.

Cheers,

Fraser,

you can find some information about how you can create a htaccess file with apache here:
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/howto/htaccess.html

But now I suddenly got a bit unsure. I don't think you can add a new virtualhost in a htaccess file. Atleast I have never done this before.

I'm on a hosted server, and followed the suggestions with creation of a subdomain. I could not upload to webdav, but after some clever support it worked. The ISP had to add PUT in LimitExcept in httpd.conf.

Now I have a problem with creating and renaming folders. Renaming or moving files don't work either. Upload, delete and cut-n-paste works fine. I'm using 3.6 with XP SP2, and IE6/WebDrive for testing.

Is there some special permissions that must be added to get rename/create/move access?

<Directory /home/*>
    AllowOverride All
    Options MultiViews -Indexes FollowSymlinks IncludesNoExec +Includes
    <Limit GET POST OPTIONS PROPFIND>
        Order allow,deny
        Allow from all
    </Limit>
    <LimitExcept GET POST OPTIONS PROPFIND PUT HEAD DELETE COPY MOVE>
        Order deny,allow
        Deny from all
    </LimitExcept>
</Directory>

 

I added delete, copy and move here, but copy and move did'nt seem to work. Any ideas?
