Hi unSpawn,
I solved my problem partially with following steps;
On Firefox;
Tools --> Add-ons --> Get-Extensions --> Search "bookmarks synchronizer"
found 2 items;
1)
Box.net Bookmarks Synchronizer
2)
Bookmark Sync and Sort
Code:
by rhaebuster .
Bookmark Sync and Sort is a Mozilla Firefox extension that lets you connect to an FTP/WebDAV server and synchronize your bookmarks that are stored in an XML file. Setup is easy; just write in your FTP/WebDAV server address, username, password and...
Installed "Bookmark Sync and Sort 1.0.7" and restarted Firefox
Continued;
# htpasswd -m -c /var/www/bookmarks/.htpasswd satimis
New password:
Re-type new password:
Adding password for user satimis
# mkdir /var/www/bookmarks
# chown -R -c www-data:www-data /var/www/bookmarks
Code:
changed ownership of `/var/www/bookmarks' to www-data:www-data
# ls /etc/apache2/
Code:
apache2.conf envvars mods-available
conf.d httpd.conf mods-enabled sites-available
dav_svn.passwd ports.conf sites-enabled
Edited /etc/apache2/http.conf adding following lines on it;
Code:
## Location of the DavLock file
DavLockDB /usr/share/apache2/var/DavLock
## Set up the bookmarks directory to use WebDAV and authentication
<Directory "/var/www/bookmarks">
Dav On
AuthName "WebDAV Login"
AuthType Basic
AuthUserFile /var/www/bookmarks/.htpasswd
## Limit access for enhanced security
<LimitExcept GET HEAD OPTIONS POST>
require valid-user
</LimitExcept>
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>
# /etc/init.d/apache2 restart
Code:
* Forcing reload of web server (apache2)... [ OK ]
On the same PC login as satimis and start Firefox
