How do I enable WebDAV in Apache httpd?

your_shadow03 · 10-11-2009, 11:42 AM

I have been reading http://kbase.redhat.com/faq/docs/DOC-10637 to setup the same. But I am facing an issue here.

Whenever I am editing the file:

Code:

Alias /webdav /var/www/webdav
 Dav on

in wedav.conf under /etc/httpd/conf.d folder.

It says:

Code:

[root@chat conf.d]# service httpd restart
Stopping httpd:                                            [FAILED]
Starting httpd: Syntax error on line 2 of /etc/httpd/conf.d/webdav.conf:
DAV not allowed here
                                                           [FAILED]
[root@chat conf.d]#

Any idea how to fix this?

You need to put the 'Dav On' directive inside a Directory directive. For example,

Then do a configuration check,

Quote:

/etc/init.d/httpd configtest

With a 'Syntax Ok' message you can restart the daemon,

Quote:

/etc/init.d/httpd start

You can also check the following,
