Hi, I'm running Dapper server 6.0.LTS with the Ubuntu desktop. I had this running just fine in Feisty but the move to Dapper Server has broken something... This is what I have done: To enable the apache modules: Code: sudo a2enmod dav sudo a2enmod dav_fs Then make sure the lock file exists: Code: $ cd /var/lock/apache2 $ sudo touch DAVLock $ sudo chown www-data:www-data DAVLock To create dav folder: Code: sudo mkdir /var/www/dav sudo chgrp www-data /var/www/dav sudo chmod 775 /var/www/dav To create user folder: Code: sudo mkdir /var/www/dav/simon sudo chgrp www-data /var/www/dav/simon sudo chmod 775 /var/www/dav/simon To create the user password: Code: sudo htpasswd -c /var/www/dav/simon/.DAVlogin simon Then create restrictions to folder: Code: sudo nano /etc/apache2/mods-enabled/dav_fs.conf Paste in: Code: DAVLockDB /var/lock/apache2/DAVLock #DAVMinTimeout 600 <Location /dav/simon/> Dav On AuthType Basic AuthName simon AuthUserFile /var/www/dav/simon/.DAVlogin <LimitExcept OPTIONS> Require user simon </LimitExcept> </Location> Restart apache: Code: sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 restart When I then try to access the folder http://myserver/dav/simon using the finder of my OSX box I get an error to the effect that the server cannot be found. When I try a browser, I can see the folder /simon and can get inside it without a password. What the heck have I done wrong? TIA! Simon
Hi, I don't know if it's relevant but if I open my DAVLock file in gEdit, there's nothing in it. I was expecting something to be in that file... ? Simon
Falko! Im so sorry but I'm enough of a newb not to know how to read the log files. What is the command to see them? Thanks! Simon
Falko, Ok, I'm blufffing this... This seems to be the log in /var/log/apache2/accesslog. Last few lines. I had tried the webdav folder again just before: Code: "http://192.168.0.11/" "Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; Intel Mac OS X; en-US; rv:1.8.1.11) Gecko/20071127 Firefox/2.0.0.11" 192.168.0.6 - - [05/Dec/2007:18:47:31 +0000] "OPTIONS /simon/ HTTP/1.1" 200 - "-" "WebDAVFS/1.4.1 (01418000) Darwin/8.11.0 (Power Macintosh)" 192.168.0.77 - - [06/Dec/2007:20:00:28 +0000] "OPTIONS /simon/ HTTP/1.1" 200 - "-" "WebDAVFS/1.5 (01508000) Darwin/9.1.0 (i386)" 192.168.0.77 - - [07/Dec/2007:15:57:19 +0000] "OPTIONS /simon/ HTTP/1.1" 200 - "-" "WebDAVFS/1.5 (01508000) Darwin/9.1.0 (i386)" The only other log in the same folder is the error.log.

Simon
Falko, I made a typo in my description above which has now been corrected. The folder I created is var/www/dav/simon. Above I described it as var/www/simon... The output is: Code: ls -la /var/www/dav/simon total 12 drwxrwxr-x 2 root www-data 4096 2007-12-10 09:58 . drwxrwxr-x 3 root www-data 4096 2007-12-10 09:56 .. -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 20 2007-12-10 09:58 .DAVlogin I seem to have more logs ( I tried accessing the dav folder just before reading these): In var/logs/apache2 I have: access.log with nothing in it. access.log.1 with: Code: "http://192.168.0.11/" "Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; Intel Mac OS X; en-US; rv:1.8.1.11) Gecko/20071127 Firefox/2.0.0.11" 192.168.0.6 - - [05/Dec/2007:18:47:31 +0000] "OPTIONS /simon/ HTTP/1.1" 200 - "-" "WebDAVFS/1.4.1 (01418000) Darwin/8.11.0 (Power Macintosh)" 192.168.0.77 - - [06/Dec/2007:20:00:28 +0000] "OPTIONS /simon/ HTTP/1.1" 200 - "-" "WebDAVFS/1.5 (01508000) Darwin/9.1.0 (i386)" 192.168.0.77 - - [07/Dec/2007:15:57:19 +0000] "OPTIONS /simon/ HTTP/1.1" 200 - "-" "WebDAVFS/1.5 (01508000) Darwin/9.1.0 (i386)" error.log: Code: [Sun Dec 09 07:35:20 2007] [notice] Apache/2.0.55 (Ubuntu) DAV/2 PHP/5.1.2 configured -- resuming normal operations [Mon Dec 10 09:59:41 2007] [notice] caught SIGTERM, shutting down [Mon Dec 10 09:59:42 2007] [notice] Apache/2.0.55 (Ubuntu) DAV/2 PHP/5.1.2 configured -- resuming normal operations error.log.1: Code: [Wed Dec 05 18:38:45 2007] [notice] Apache/2.0.55 (Ubuntu) DAV/2 PHP/5.1.2 configured -- resuming normal operations [Thu Dec 06 14:59:40 2007] [notice] caught SIGTERM, shutting down [Thu Dec 06 15:00:44 2007] [notice] Apache/2.0.55 (Ubuntu) DAV/2 PHP/5.1.2 configured -- resuming normal operations [Sun Dec 09 07:35:19 2007] [notice] caught SIGTERM, shutting down Why have I suddenly got log.1 files...? Any help? Simon
Falko, I just used my browser to go to http://127.0.0.1/dav/simon/. I then got the username/password challenge as expected and accessed the folder as expected. I then tried accessing the folder using a web-browser on my OSX box on the same network and got the username/password challenge but when I clicked Ok I got: Code: Object Not Found The requested URL '/dav/simon' was not found on the RomPager server. Return to last page When I use the OSX Finder to access the folder, things work as expected! I think something has sorted itself out! Weird error using a browser from the OSX box though... Simon
