Webdav ?

Thursday 06 December 2007 7:30:37 am

Hi,

I've just unpacked a eZ4 version but I have some troubles to set up the webdav.
It's running on windows XP, Apache 2.2.6, PHP 5.2.5.
Here are step I've done :

1 - Set up the ini file (ok)
2 - Siteaccess are already listed (ok)

SiteList[]=ezflow_site
SiteList[]=fre
SiteList[]=eng
SiteList[]=ezflow_site_admin
SiteList[]=iphone

3 - Clear the cache (ok, it's my speciality)
4 - Set up the DNS in the /windows/system32/drivers/etc/hosts file (ok)

127.0.0.1 webdav.local

5 - Configure the web server (ok)

<Virtualhost webdav.local:80>
	DocumentRoot D:\mtho\workspacePHP\ezflow
	
	<Directory D:\mtho\workspacePHP\ezflow>
		Options FollowSymLinks
		AllowOverride None
	</Directory>
	<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
		RewriteEngine On
		RewriteRule ^(.*) /webdav.php [L]
	</IfModule>

	ServerAdmin admin@example.com
	ServerName webdav.local
</VirtualHost>

6 - Test (not ok)

When I use DAV Explorer or the web folder feature, I don't access the webdav folder.
I've searched some information but don't found a particular solution.

Using NetDrive, I can access to the root but that's empty. :-/

I have no log in /var/log and in /var/ezflow_site/log.

I have no more ideas, so if someone is experiencing the same troubles...

Ok, I've got it. It was a bad configuration in httpd.conf.
I had an error in the apache error log concerning precedence of the NameVirtualHost directive. My conf was :

NameVirtualHost *:80
Listen 80

And I declared two virtual hosts : localhost and webdav.local.

So I tried :

NameVirtualHost localhost:80
NameVirtualHost webdav.local:80
Listen 80

I restart Apache and tried to access : http://webdav.local/fre with DAV explorer and it works.

You don't need to enable the DAV module for Apache, it works without it.

Anyway thanks.

Like always, I spent two hours to decide if I'm going to put a post on ez.no and after five minutes I find the solution.

When you try to connect to the ez webdav server, you must specify the sitaccess that you want to connect to by adding the siteaccess to the url. In my case : http://webdav.local/fre where fre is the siteaccess.

And, naturally, eZ will check permissions and translations.

In my issue, I was trying to see an english gallery in the french siteaccess... :-/

Hi again,

I already got problems with this functionality and specially with the connection.
I've got the right Apach config which allows me to have to virtual hosts :
- one for the standard site : site:80
- one for the webdav : site:81

It's working, I can access separately the webdav and the standard site.

<b>But</b> when I use cadaver to access the content file, I can only reach the list of siteaccess. If I try to enter one siteaccess, I've got an error :

Could not access /wascou/ (not WebDAV-enabled?):
404 Not found

This is very weird because I have not to login to reach the list of siteaccess.
Does someone has an idea ?

Here's my webdav log :
