Hi Björn,

It does work, it looks like its setup from the httpd side. I found trying different URLs.. the /content does not work for me, I used / then I could see the directories.

I have tested on RH 9 with Konqueror (client) and PHP 4.3.3 (server), but doesn't seem to work with authentication on IE... I need to play more with the windows box..

I hope this helps

Tony

According to your virtual host settings in your apache config file, you're trying to listen for an IP address (instead of a hostname) with an additional non-standard port. I suggest that you remove the port (during testing) and that you try to access the webdav module using the following set of commands (in UNIX/Linux) :

telnet 192.168.0.3 80

[will output some info.. now type in:]

PROPFIND / HTTP/1.1
Host: localhost

[and press enter (sometimes twice)]

what is the output?

Hmmm... This is a dumb question... But do I need to load the apache webdav modul in to apache?

No, you do not need the Apache WebDAV module. eZ publish has code that takes care of the WebDAV communication.

The dumps: it looks like that the WebDAV messages (from the client, such as PROPFIND) are not reaching the eZ publish WebDAV server. Did you remember to enable WebDAV from within the webdav.ini file? You may also enable WebDAV debugging from the ini file; debug output will reside in the following file: /tmp/webdavlog.txt

Enable debug, do a *single* PROPFIND and look at the log file, what does it say?

Which version of Apache and PHP are you running? Seems like you're running Apache 2.0.40 and PHP 4.2.2 - we have not tested WebDAV with the Apache 2.x series; it might or might not work. In addition: the WebDAV setup documentation clearly states that you should use PHP 4.3.2 (or later). This is (if I remember correctly) because earlier versions of PHP did not send the HTTP requests to the PHP script (which resulted in no response from the script). Please, try to upgrade to 4.3.2 (or later). Good luck! :-)
