[users@httpd] permission denied when writing to webdav directory

[Jonathan Leacock <jo...@gmail.com>]

hi, 
ive already tried the webdav mailing list for help with this and no
one has found a solution.  the problem is im having trouble writing to
a webdav directory on a fedora core 3
server running apache 2.0.52 with mod_dav loaded. when using cadaver i
get the error:

Uploading sage.usr to `/sage.usr':
Progress: [=============================>] 100.0% of 329 bytes failed:
403 Forbidden

ive also tried to use mozilla sunbird to publish a calendar into this
folder and i get the same 403 error with it as well.

apache runs as user:apache and group:apache.  the permissions on the
directory are:

drwxrwxr-x   2 apache    apache 4096 Mar 31 11:46 html

in my httpd.conf i have the lines:

DAVLockDB /var/lock/apache/DAVLock

and

<Directory "/var/www/html">
       Options Indexes Includes FollowSymLinks
       AllowOverride None
       Allow from all
       Order allow,deny
       DAV on
</Directory>

apache has read/write access to the davlockdb directory

the errors given in apache's error_log are:
[Thu Mar 31 13:15:09 2005] [error] [client 192.168.1.200] Unable to
PUT new contents for /sage.usr.  [403, #0]
[Thu Mar 31 13:15:09 2005] [error] [client 192.168.1.200]
(13)Permission denied: An error occurred while opening a resource.
[500, #0]

i also get a similar 403 error if i try to delete a file from the directory.

any help would be appreciated

cheers,

jonathan

Check your SELinux configuration settings.
