Talk:WebDAV repository

Chris -can this go on the main page? I haven't a clue about the technicalities behind webdav but your notes here are very recent?--Mary Cooch 03:29, 27 September 2011 (WST)

Create WebDAV server

I will be doing this in Linux (Ubuntu 11.04). Currently am building a few servers from scratch for the first time. I increased my file size and reset the timeouts in php.ini. This is working for now. However, I had a 125 MB backup and thought FTP would be easier...not for now :) --Chris collman 05:16, 15 July 2011 (WST) Found this for ubuntu 11.04 and will be seeing if it works:

1. enable webdav modules
   1. a2enmod dav_fs
   2. a2enmod dav
2. create webdave directory and add permissions
   1. mkdir -p /var/www/webdav
   2. chown www-data. /var/www/webdav
   3. chmod 770 /var/www/webdav
3. Restart apche2 to take the last modifications
   1. /etc/init.d/apache2 restart
4. vi /etc/apache2/conf.d/webdav.conf

Alias /webdav /var/www/webdav
<Location /webdav>

AuthUserFile /etc/apache2/conf.d/.htpasswd
<LimitExcept GET OPTIONS>
