Enabling webdav

[ethicalhack3r]

I'm trying to implement webdav into a project of mine using the latest xampp for Linux (ubuntu server 10.04).

httpd.conf:

Code: Select all

DavLockDB "/opt/lampp/htdocs/hackable/uploads"
Alias /webdav /opt/lampp/htdocs/hackable/uploads

<Location /webdav>
Dav On
</Location>

Apache is running as user 'nobody' in the 'nogroup' group.

I can connect but not execute any commands. Using a webdav client 'cadaver' I get an internal server error 500 when trying to execute any commands.

I assumed this was down to permissions so I changed the permissions as such:

Code: Select all

chown -R nobody /opt/lampp/htdocs/hackable/uploads

Still no joy.

Any ideas?

Any ideas?

SImply look into the error_log

[ethicalhack3r]

Nothing really indicative in the error_log apart from the server error 500 and 'permission denied'. Which only confirmed my suspicion that it was a permissions based error.

In fact the solution was that I was using a directory instead of a file for the DavLockDB.

Code: Select all

DavLockDB "/opt/lampp/htdocs/hackable/uploads"

Should have been:

Code: Select all

DavLockDB "/opt/lampp/htdocs/hackable/uploads/[anyfilename]"

Problem solved.
