Package: apache2
Version: 2.2.3-4
Hi there,
I've stumbled upon a problem when activating Apache's DAV-module which
is availabe with the apache2-base-package.
After enabling the dav-module using "a2enmod dav" and setting up a usual
DAV-directory everything seemed to work fine.
Files could be viewed and downloaded from the DAV-directory.
However, write-access wasn't possible. (Strange error messages came up
when trying to upload a file.)
I found out that the module-configuration ("dav_fs.conf") located in
/etc/apache2/mods-enabled had the following entry:
DAVLockDB /var/lock/apache2/DAVLock
That "DAVLock"-file in /var/lock/apache2 was owned exclusively by
"root:root".
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 12288 2007-05-10 15:02 DAVLock
Since the Apache2-server is run by "www-data" a more suitable ownership
and/or different file access permission should be applied.
Changing the above to
-rw-rw-r-- 1 root www-data 12288 2007-05-10 15:02 DAVLock
worked just fine.
I'm using Debian 4.0 (Etch); Kernel 2.6.18-4-686.
Thanks a lot and keep on maintaining such a wonderful system like Debian!
Achim
