Topic: How do I actually configure webdav to work?

[hegedusa]

I've installed the webdav contrib, and would like to be able to access files in an ibay via webdav. However, using a windows xp client, whenever I find the resource through http://myserver/ibay-name and enter my user name and password, it is rejected. Can anyone shed any light on this? Thanks in advance

OK, I've managed to get to to partially do what I want. It seems that the URL must be in the form "http://myserver.com" rather than "http://myserver.com/filestore". I can access this from outside my network.. BUT it seems to default to the html folder in the relevant ibay rather than the files folder in the ibay. How can I change this?

please take some time to read carefully the documentation..

everything you need to know is there.

thank you

I have read it, but am missing something important I know. Everything works, except the ability to get it to open in the folder I want. I would like the webdav client to be able to open in ibays/aahfiles/files and not ibays/aahfiles/http. I just can't see how to change this. I've tried adding a symbolic link in the http folder but it doesn't seem to be seen by the various webdav clients I've tried.

do you mean this contrib?

[hegedusa]

Yes, the "DAV" contrib

this is valid only if you are working with Primary ibay

if you have an ibay "myibay", you'll find it at http://yourserver/myibay url

as you said, this is the default
if you need to reach "files" folder, it should be available at http://yourserver/ibayname/files url

Thanks for the reply
It doesn't appear to work like that. If I reference http://myserver/myibay it returns an error 404.

If I try to reference http://myserver/folder1 it shows me the contents of /home/e-smith/files/ibays/myibay/html/folder1
What I am trying to do is to show the contents of /home/e-smith/files/ibays/myibay/files

It only seems to want to show me the contents of the html folder and I cannot seem to alter that.

I use the same contrib for DAV.
First, using folder html seems to be by design since it is using apache and port 80/443.

In order to use an ibay, I use a subdomain to associate the dav enabled ibay. It works with microsoft and linux clients. For windows, the client I use is NetDrive (free for non-commercial).

There is a problem with permissions. When I edit a file, a temporary file stays in the folder when I'm done.
