Hi Gordon,
I've not used WebDAV on SLES7 but I have used it on Debian (intel) and it's
pretty easy to set up - as you suspected.
I'm not sure what you mean by "Netstat doesn't even give me any information
about what port is being used."
WebDAV (RFC2518 et al) is an extension to HTTP and therefore it comes in on
port 80 or whatever port you normally use for your http traffic. ie. It's
not a different port.
The biggest problem I've found with WebDAV is not on the server or the
client. It's on the proxies that clients often choose to (or are forced
to) go through. Older proxies don't understand the extended HTTP verbs and
as a result the whole thing fails miserably. When it works, it's great.
So, is your httpd server still bound to port 80 after you restart with the
dav module loaded? I assume you're using 'IE web folder open' as your DAV
client. That uses your IE proxy settings. Can you turn those off and try
accessing your server? As you suspected you do see the extended verbs in
the access_log and errors are recorded via the normal mechanisms.
Cheers
Geoff

Has anyone gotten WebDAV (the mod_dav module) to work with apache on
SLES7?
It looks like it ought to be pretty simple. Just modify httpd.conf to load
and access the module dynamically, turn DAV on and create a lock directory
and a file repository directory with the right ownerships and permissions,
then restart Apache.
I did all that. error_log shows apache restarted with DAV enabled. But no
matter what I do, I can't get to the repository. My browser just tells me
"connection refused". No errors in the error_log or access_log. Netstat
doesn't even give me any information about what port is being used.
Anyone ever use this before?
