Apache + webDAV + windows XP = ??

[joshua vogelstein <jo...@jhu.edu>]

little help please: i'm trying to set up my windows box --- which is
currently already running an apache server 2.0.x (using webDAV) and
subversion 1.4.x for remote version control --- to also act as a file
server.  however, no matter what i try, i seem to be unable to add the
appropriate lines to the httpd.conf file for apache.  i've found the
solution for a linux box all over the place, but they don't seem to work for
windows.  please help...

much obliged,
joshua

To set up WebDAV access to Subversion repositories, see the auto- 
versioning section of the book:

http://svnbook.red-bean.com/en/1.4/svn.webdav.html

If you're talking about setting up WebDAV access to folders on your  
server that are NOT version controlled (not served by Subversion),  
then your question is off-topic for the Subversion lists, and you  
should maybe ask on an Apache list instead.

If you're looking for other kinds of non-versioned file sharing  
options (NFS, SMB, AFP, etc.) then you should also ask those  
questions elsewhere.

erik and others, allow me to specify. i have 2 types of folders: those that
i want version controlled remotely, and those that i want to access and
modify remotely, but don't need version control.   i'm happy with the way
version control works remotely for my server.  but i cannot get apache setup
such that i may also browse the additional folders, and make changes as
desired.   ideally, i'd like to be able to browse to those directories using
any browser, and modify them by some means *without** *installing any
software (or having admin rights).  essentially, i work remotely sometimes
from terminals that i don't have control over, so i want to be able to
access all my data (and make modifications) from those computers as well.
those computers are *not* all windows, on the contrary, some are linux or
mac boxes.

is that clear? what do you think i should do?

What *exactly* do you mean? Do you want to use the WebDAV protocol to
mount the Subversion repository as a Webdrive under XP? If so, what
did you do to achieve it? What errors did you encounter?

Normal Windows fileserving (in my definition of terms) uses Windows
shared drives and falls outside of the discussion of this list. That's
why I'm asking.

bye,


Erik.
