2.0 mod_dav thinks / isn't a collection, mod_dir gets in the way

[Wilfredo Sánchez <ws...@MIT.EDU>]

   I've switched my home server from a Linux box running httpd 1.3 to my 
Mac running httpd 2.0.  For my each site I host, I've got two virtual 
hosts, one which is the public server and another which is DAV-enabled 
for editing.  I usually just mount the DAV server using the DAV 
filesystem in OS X and edit that way.

   I ran into a problem after the switch, though, and the clients can't 
mount the server any more.  I poked around a bit using tcpflow and 
bugged the owner of webdavfs at Apple, and the problem seems to be that 
httpd is telling the client that the URI / is not a collection, so the 
mount fails.  I'm seeing behavior using Goliath which show it's getting 
confused as well; it will show me index.html but no subdirectories.

   My guess is that mod_dir is poking in here and returning index.html 
for /.  I do have DirectoryIndex set in the main server config, but I 
didn't have this problem in 1.3.  Is this new behavior?  There's no 
comment in the docs about how to turn off DirectoryIndex for a location 
(eg. for a virtual host).

   Commenting out the DirectoryIndex altogether didn't fix the problem, 
but disabling the loading of mod_dir does.  Unfortunate, since I do 
want mod_dir sometimes.

   Any ideas?

It can't be turned off. you may set it it to a file that is never found.

The problem should be fixed in 2.0.42.
