To upgrade the dll you may be able to use any *2003 product. I used Visio 2003, for instance. I've heard mentions of a Sharepoint client download. If you can find something like that on Microsoft's site it may contain an upgrade as well. Once you have a newer .dll it's really easy to distribute. I made a self-extracting zip with a batch file that registers the new .dll. Works well for users on our intranet.

As for making the root context webdav enabled, you should be able to mount Slide as the root webapp. If you're using the Slide/Tomcat bundle edit conf/server.xml and set path="" for the Slide <Context> node. If you're using the webapp bin just renaming the slide folder to ROOT should be enough. Note that you could have naming conflicts with other webapps on the same app server if you do this.

I am using Win2K SP4 (MSDAIPP.DLL version 8.103.5219.0). According to http://wiki.apache.org/jakarta-slide/WebFolderIssues

"there is a bug in the WebFolder implementation shipped with Win2k SP4
and WinXP SP1 that will prevent WebFolders from accessing Slide. The
only known solution is to install a product that upgrades MSDAIPP.DLL
(the dll that controls WebDAV access on Windows)".

Since versions 10.X and 11.X are only available for WinXP and Win2003,
I don't see a way to upgrade the DLL on Win2K :-(

This particular problem seems to be caused by the bug
options-req-against-root --> When using the Internet Explorer "open"
dialog and checking the "open as webfolder" checkbox, Explorer first
accesses the root of the server instead of the specified URI.
Therefore, opening a webfolder will fail unless the root of the
namespace indeed is WebDAV-enabled.

Any idea how to make the root  WebDAV-enabled ?

Thanks,
Girish

Thanks for your prompt help James. I should have read the
configuration section carefully before asking the question :-(

I am able to connect to http://localhost:8080/slide/ in  slide client,
DavExplorer but can't use the same URL in Open as WebFolder in IE and
Explorer. (I am using Windows 2000 Professional and IE 6.0)

Is this a known problem or can I do something to get it to work?

Thanks,
Girish

http://localhost:8080/webdav is the webdav webapp that ships with
Tomcat. In order to access Slide you need to point your client at
http://localhost:8080/slide/. Note the trailing "/", it won't work
without it.

Hi,

I have just started using Jakarta Slide. I have installed "Slide 2.0
with Tomcat 5.0" release build
I am able to get the page http://localhost:8080/webdav/index.html to show up.

But can't get the http://localhost:8080/webdav to open either as a
webfolder or through the slide-client.

I am able to configure and use moddav location as a webfolder, so
webfolders are working on my machine.

Is there anything else to be done to get WebDAV to work with Slide?
Should I need to configure something or use another URL?

Thanks in advance,
Girish

PS: I have already searched the slide-user archves
