Topic: mod_dav

[WXP]

Hey guys,

Anyone tried to install the dav mod on his e-smith box ?

I'm actually running 4.1.2 but I cant make it work and the installation steps are quite easy.. I would even say that a newbie could do it

So I must be an idiot or the version of Apache does not work with dav.. ???

Thanx,

Pierrick

Huh?

enable mod_dav in your ibay templates and it works stright up...
AddModule mod_perl.c\nAddModule mod_dav.c
DAVLockDB /var/run/DAVLock
and
DAV on
in each ibay / docroot you prefer

Always check to see if somethings installed but not visible by using "rpm -qa | grep mod"
eg results are :-
...
mod_dav
...

oups it was installed ?
I install the RPM

Hope it upgrades mod_dav and not broke everything

With AddModule mod_dav.c :

[root@server conf]# service httpd stop
Stopping httpd: ^[ar                                       [   OK   ]
[root@server conf]# service httpd start
Starting httpd: Syntax error on line 210 of /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf:
Cannot add module via name 'mod_dav.c': not in list of loaded modules
                                                           [ FAILED ]


Then I added LoadModule :

Loadmodule dav_module modules/libdav.so
AddModule mod_dav.c
DAVLockDB /var/run/DAVLock

[root@server conf]# service httpd start
Starting httpd: Syntax error on line 212 of /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf:
DAVLockDB takes one argument, specify a lock database
                                                           [ FAILED ]


Remove DAVLockDB and put DAV On in an IBay but it's not working dude..

LoadModule dav_module modules/libdav.so ## note I missed this last time d'oh!
AddModule mod_dav.c
DAVLockDB /var/run/DAVLock

    AddType application/x-httpd-php .php .php3 .phtml
    AddType application/x-httpd-php-source .phps
    DAV on


Make sure these exist after you "service http-e-smith restart"

I've added DAV on to all ibays with dynamic content enabled, but not accessable ot the internet, for security reasons. I then use a cronjob to move things around... talk about paranoid
It was a while ago, so I may have kludged this, but it does work with Basic Auth under Adobe GoLive.

Sorry I missed that line, coder hat doesn't work well with support hat ^_^

What about touching the Log and Page files?
This works for all purposes except rename (don't know why yet)
