Marina,

WebDAV problems can be tough to troubleshoot, but here are some ideas.

The Explorer program is not a WebDAV client: it is an HTTP client. This is confusing, since Windows uses the 'http' prefix for both WebDAV and HTTP. For a WebDAV connection, use "Network Places" > "Add Network Place".

If you still see an error, note that the Windows WebDAV client does not display useful error messages. I'd recommend that you set the "log errors" option in your WebDAV server. Then try to connect (using a Network Place, not Explorer). After getting the error message, check ErrorLog.txt for any log messages.

Finally, your WebDAV server root should match up with your URI privilege, shouldn't it? I'd change the root to also be '/docs/', or change the URI privilege be "http://localhost/pim/docs/";.

I hope this helps.

I've tried to set up a WebDAV server to upload files into MLS, but it seems to 
be a problem with the configuration I made, because the only user that can log 
in to the server is the one with th admin role. I used MLS 3.1 and the settings 
I made are:

WebDAV server root: http://localhost/pim/docs/
port: 9001
database: mydb
authentication: basic
default user: nobody
privilege: -

mydb
security database: Security
directory creation: automatic
forests: mydocs

forest name: mydocs
data directory: C:\www\pim\docs


URI Privilege: priv-uri-public
priv. name: priv-uri-public
priv action: /docs/

Role: writer
exe priv: none
URI priv: priv-uri-public
permissions: writer (insert,read,update)
collections: none

User: myuser
roles: writer
I use Windows Explorer as a WebDAV client. The URL I enter is: 
http://localhost:9001/.
The login info are: myuser + password.
The message I get is: "The folder you entered does not appear to be valid. Please 
choose another."
