Hi, I followed the following HOWTO: http://www.howtoforge.com/how-to-set-up-webdav-with-apache2-on-ubuntu-10.04 Excellent HOWOT by the way. I was able to finally get webdav configured to allow me access to /var/www. However, though I'm able to authenticate using Dreamweaver and cadaver, I can't write, change, or add files or folders to /var/www. Here is the contents of /etc/apache2/sites-available/default <VirtualHost *:80> ServerAdmin webmaster@localhost DocumentRoot /var/www <Directory /> Options FollowSymLinks AllowOverride None </Directory> <Directory /var/www/> Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews AllowOverride None Order allow,deny allow from all </Directory> Alias /webdav /var/www <Location /webdav> DAV on AuthType Basic AuthName "webdav" AuthUserFile /var/www/passwd.dav Require valid-user </Location> ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ /usr/lib/cgi-bin/ <Directory "/usr/lib/cgi-bin"> AllowOverride None Options +ExecCGI -MultiViews +SymLinksIfOwnerMatch Order allow,deny Allow from all </Directory> ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/error.log # Possible values include: debug, info, notice, warn, error, crit, # alert, emerg. LogLevel warn CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/access.log combined Alias /doc/ "/usr/share/doc/" <Directory "/usr/share/doc/"> Options Indexes MultiViews FollowSymLinks AllowOverride None Order deny,allow Deny from all Allow from 127.0.0.0/255.0.0.0 ::1/128 </Directory> </VirtualHost>
After much researching through the internet and other forums, looking at the /var/log files, etc., I decided to go with FTP. I know it was some kind of read/write privilege issue with webdav, because even after setting up FTP, I still could not write to /var/www. So I chmod 777 /var/www.
