Could somebdy point to me to good tut on setting up a webdav

[Handler]

Hello!

First off this is for my own personal use at home, no real world production stuff.

So I've done a bit of Googling and found somethings about webdav but it was like reading Klingon. I could not really find a tutorial or guide that was just in plain English and not written in extreme techno-speak.

I appreciate any help or information given!

Thanks!

Hi Dave,

Well, what do you want to know about WEBDAV?
In your Apache configuration you define a Directory and some sort of URL (Alias, VirtualHost, Location, etc), activate webdav for that Directory and can define authentification and all the default configuration stuff Apache provides.
If WEBDAV is activated you can use the defined URL to connect it as a network drive.

best wishes,
Altrea

I understand that much . I'm just unsure of how the configuration is set up inside the conf file. You wouldn't happen to have an example I could follow would you?

The Apache manual has an example for that
https://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.4/mod/mod_dav.html

If I remember right I was getting hung up on the AuthUserFile. I know in Linux there's a command line tool for this but I'm on windows. Where to make that password file?

Your XAMPP Apache containes a Windows command line tool htpasswd.exe. This file could be find in your Apache bin folder and will help you creating this file.

I saw that once I got home. =\

I made the password file and changed the conf file to match. I could map to that location but it never asked me for my password which was odd!

I cannot tell you anything about that issue without knowing any helpful information.
The HTTP basic auth password will only be requested if there is not a valid session present. So you should clear your Browser cache.
Apache configuration changes only taking effect after restarting Apache.
Showing us your current configuration would be helpful.

Sorry I didn't get this posted sooner been a crazy couple of days here!

Ok .. this is the conf for the dav

Code: Select all

<IfModule dav_module>
<IfModule dav_fs_module>
<IfModule setenvif_module>
<IfModule alias_module>
<IfModule auth_digest_module>
<IfModule authn_file_module>#

DavLockDB "C:/xampp/apache/logs/Dav.Lock"

Alias /webdav "C:/xampp/webdav/"

<Directory "C:/xampp/webdav">
Require all granted
    Dav On

    AuthType Digest
    AuthName "XAMPP with WebDAV"
    AuthUserFile "c:/xampp/apache/user.passwd"
    AuthDigestProvider file

    <LimitExcept GET OPTIONS>
        require valid-user
    </LimitExcept>
</Directory>

BrowserMatch "Microsoft Data Access Internet Publishing Provider" redirect-carefully
BrowserMatch "MS FrontPage" redirect-carefully
BrowserMatch "^WebDrive" redirect-carefully
BrowserMatch "^WebDAVFS/1.[01234]" redirect-carefully
BrowserMatch "^gnome-vfs/1.0" redirect-carefully
BrowserMatch "^XML Spy" redirect-carefully
BrowserMatch "^Dreamweaver-WebDAV-SCM1" redirect-carefully
BrowserMatch " Konqueror/4" redirect-carefully
BrowserMatch "MSIE" AuthDigestEnableQueryStringHack=On

</IfModule>
</IfModule>
</IfModule>
</IfModule>
</IfModule>
</IfModule>

And yes I have those modules enabled in http.conf file
