RE: Apache+mod_dav+connector dilemma
Hi Noel! Yes, we use the root for dav and filtering, since unique and clear identities/url-identifiers are very important to us. In your conf-snipplet it seems that you bind the tomcat connector by mime-type and then redefine the the mime-type in the 'dav' location to avoid being captured by the connector. I cant get this to work in my configuration. What connector / tomcat / server are you using? Curious, Jonas tor 2002-12-12 klockan 22.35 skrev Noel J.

RE: Apache+mod_dav+connector dilemma
Jonas, There is a semantic conflict between DAV and dynamic content handlers if you use the same Location. DAV would want to fetch the file, the dynamic content handler would want to pass along the request for service. See http://www.webdav.org/mod_dav/install.html#complex, specifically the PHP example. The Location solution resolves that conflict, although, I seem to recall having to ensure that the module order was correct when I first installed mod_dav. If you look at the LoadModule/AddModule ordering in your httpd.conf file, you want to put mod_dav after the connector, which means it will be checked first. In your case, you may want to install a separate virtual host, dav..tld, so that you can keep the root. --- Noel -Original Message- From: Jonas Bosson [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Friday, December 13, 2002 6:05 To: Tomcat Users List Cc: Noel J.
