Trakcil Posted February 8, 2009 Share Posted February 8, 2009 We are doing a standalone Apache project in one of my classes and I'm having a number of problems. Some of these are going to seem super obvious but my teacher isn't a huge fan of helping people with basic questions. I'm using Apache 2.2 in Vista Right now I'm trying to enable dav. I changed the httpd.conf file in the following way to set it up DavLockDB "C:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\Apache2.2\var\davlock" #Dav <Location "C:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\Apache2.2\var\www\davtest"> Order Allow,Deny Allow from all Dav On AuthType Basic AuthName DAV AuthUserFile "C:\program files\apache software foundation\apache2.2\bin\pswdfile" <LimitExcept GET OPTIONS> Require valid-user </LimitExcept> </Location> I also enabled all of the dav mods and whatnot. I restarted the Apache server and it worked fine but I have no idea how to test it and make sure that it is actually working. I need to take a screenshot of the folder I used for dav showing that it is accessable. My other big problem here is that I'm unsure if I need to create this davlockdb file myself or if it creates it automatically.

corbin Posted February 8, 2009 Share Posted February 8, 2009 Hrmmm, I've never used WebDAV before, but it looks fairly straight forward from the docs. http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/mod/mod_dav.html The DavLockDB should be created automatically. How to test it? Just go to davtest and see if it asks you for a password. By the way, incase you don't know how, you'll need to use htpasswd.exe in the bin folder of the Apache folder to make your pswfile.

I'm not sure exactly what you mean though when you say "just go to davtest." Do you mean just go to the folder through explorer because that does not ask for a password. I have never really done anything with servers before so again, I'm sorry I need to ask some of these really obvious questions.

corbin Posted February 8, 2009 Share Posted February 8, 2009 You will need to go to it in a web browser. Something like http://localhost/davtest/ should do. Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/144374-new-user-question/#findComment-757608 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Something like http://localhost/davtest/ should do. hmm, I had actually tried that too and it didn't ask for the password.

corbin Posted February 8, 2009 Share Posted February 8, 2009 You're making a GET request, and you told it not to require authentication on GET and OPTIONS requests. http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/mod/core.html#limitexcept Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/144374-new-user-question/#findComment-757626 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trakcil Posted February 8, 2009 Author Share Posted February 8, 2009 After screwing around with it a bit I got it to work. Is there a way, however, for me to "log out" so that I need to put in the password again. Also, shouldn't I be able to access it as a web folder? If not, how can I access a remote Apache server? (I need to put a file in my teachers apache site but I am not sure how to get to a place that allows me to upload files.)

corbin Posted February 8, 2009 Share Posted February 8, 2009 You'll have to tell your web client to forget the auth details. With basic HTTP authentication, the user/pass credentials are actually sent on every single request, so it's on the client side to "logout." Hrmmm you could try Control+F5 but besides closing and reopening the browser, I don't know a surefire way. To put a file on his server you will most likely need a DAV client. (http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=DAV+client&btnG=Google+Search) Did your teacher give you instructions at all on how to put stuff on his server? Did he say to use DAV?

Trakcil Posted February 9, 2009 Author Share Posted February 9, 2009 Alright I got everything working. I e-mailed my teacher and he told me to use WinSCP to submit it. Thanks so much for your help Corbin. Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/144374-new-user-question/#findComment-757806 Share on other sites More sharing options...
