WebDAV -> cannot acces to the content folder

Wednesday 18 May 2005 2:57:50 am

Do you get an error message ? What is the webdab explorer you're using ? Does it have the same result with another browser ?

You have a log for webdav on your var/siteaccess/log/webdav.log, it might contains usefull infos too.

Might be related on a problem/bug I've just seen: On some folders, I get an error (with IE 6): "Documents in this folder are not available. [..]".

I think it's related to the content inside it, as it works on some folders, but doesn't in others. Haven't found a clear rule yet.

Salut Laurent,

Have you enabled the log on the webdav.ini ?

Just to clarify if needed, the path is var/<yoursiteaccess>/log/webdav.log (you should replace the <yoursiteaccess> with the name of your siteaccess.

do you have a var/log/webdav.log file ?

The error message is very helpfull, as often with microsoft ;)

X+

P.S. What's your ez version ?

Xavier,

Yes it's a charset problem. I can't browse folders which contain a sub-item with a "special" character.

Has you know, I'm french, and this character are very usefull to be comprehensive.

BUT, I have about 900 content item and 500 media item !!!!!!

So I have to found another solution. The craziest thing is that I can drag/drop a file with a special character but can't browse the folder anymore (???).

It's a RED ALERT.

I'm running to the bug report.

Thanks.

Laurent

hmm... I just set up a site with a webdav interface using the tutorial. All worked great in konqueror, but in windows with ie I can see the folders content and media but can't open either- this is a fresh install with dummy content. I also have trouble connecting and seeing the folders at all sometimes. The only coorelation I could draw to special characters would be that I installed with spanish language support, but there is no content en espanol? Yo quiero una cervasa tambien! oiu!

I will try the patch and see if thats it?

ps- version 3.5.2

a diff file is often referred to as a patch file.

A patch file would contain the differences between two (possibly like) files and the content positions (line numbers) for each lines differences / changes between your file into the file the patch was created from (Xavier's)

Here is some good reading on the subject:
<i>http://www.network-theory.co.uk/articles/patchintro.html
http://www.google.com/search?num=50&hl=en&c2coff=1&safe=off&q=applying+patches&spell=1</i>

Don't feel too bad, It took me forever to understand and become more familiar and less afraid of them, an I still don't really like to work with them.

The reason (slash excuse) I have for this is there are a very wide range of patch methodologies / styles which turns what we all want to be dead simple into a college course you could minor in ... ;)

happy hacking,

Thanks guys for the help and information! I never knew what webdav was, so I ignored the feature for a long time. I assumed it was some type of webservice like soap. Anyway I am really glad i looked into it, it's way too cool!

I am also tinkering with the openoffice extension, also too cool.

Anyway thanks!

Laurent,

I speak from experience, sometimes it can be safer to stay out of a thread at times :|

You say: <i>I read ... I don't know how and where I can apply the two patches...</i>

If you have read the article, the next step is to practice this skill in order to understand the process and master the skills required to achieve <i>your</i> goal :|
<i>http://www.network-theory.co.uk/articles/patchintro.html</i>

First backup your entire installation (specifically the code), just in case the next steps do not work your first couple of tries... :)

The neXt step is to create a copy of your original file, the one you wish to 'patch' to a new name (example): <i>kernel/classes/webdav/ezwebdavcontentserver.php.orig</i>

Then you would bring in the suggested patch file into the same directory as the original file and the *.orig file.

Fyi, this requires ssh / shell access to a server with GNU diff / patch installed.

Then 'apply' the patch, here is a ruff example:

patch -p1 -i ezpublish-file-3.64.diff

You can also compare the original file and find the lines mentioned in the diff, in your original file and edit the original file and making the required changes yourself by hand.

respectfully,
//kracker
