[users@httpd] Trouble implementing webdav on FreeBSD

[Jeff Shearer <je...@shearer-family.org>]

Thanks again for your help.

This is my first attempt to implement WebDav.  I am using FreeBSD 7.2 and Apache 2.2.11.  I am using cadaver on my Ubuntu 11.4 32 bit desktop.  I am able to connect to the server from the CLI.  When I type in “ls” I see my file, test.txt with a little star to the left.  I have no idea what that means. When I try to edit test.txt, I see the message, “Locking `test.txt': failed:
 500 Internal Server Error
.”

When I review my apache error log, I see the following entries:

[Mon Jun 06 14:24:25 2011] [error] [client 192.168.9.88] Could not LOCK /share/test.txt due to a failed precondition (e.g. other locks).  [500, #0]

[Mon Jun 06 14:24:25 2011] [error] [client 192.168.9.88] The locks could not be queried for verification against a possible "If:" header.  [500, #0]

[Mon Jun 06 14:24:25 2011] [error] [client 192.168.9.88] Could not open the lock database.  [500, #400]

[Mon Jun 06 14:24:25 2011] [error] [client 192.168.9.88] (13)Permission denied: Could not open property database.  [500, #1]


Configuration snipits
==============================

The directory I am using for the share where files are stored has these permissions initially:
drwxr-xr-x    2 root       mygroup   512 Jun  6 12:43 share


Even though I changed the directory permissions as follows, I still get the same errors:
drwxrwxrwx    2 www        www        512 Jun  6 12:43 share

The test file within that directory is wide open with the following permissions:
-rwxrwxrwx  1 www  www  51 Jun  6 12:43 test.txt

I have added the alias “share” in the virtual host:

Alias /share /files/share


And configured the directory like this:
<Directory /files/share>

   Dav on

   Options +Includes +Indexes



   AuthType Basic

   AuthName "Development site"

   AuthUserFile /files/auth/passwords 

   AuthGroupFile /files/auth/accessgroups

   Require group AuthorizedUsers

  </Directory>


Within the virtual host container I have set the Lock DB:
DavLockDB /usr/local/etc/apache22/DavLock 

Permissions on the Lock DB directory are wide open:

drwxrwxrwx  2 www   www      512 Jun  6 12:27 DavLock

I have played around enabling and disabling mod_unique_id.so.  When enabled, I cannot connect to the server using cadaver.

Here are the mods that I have configured to load (mod_unique_id.so is not enabled)
