[users@httpd] Pb configuring mod_dav

[Jose Marcio Martins da Cruz <Jo...@ensmp.fr>]

Hello,

I having problems to find the best way to configure multiple Dav enabled
directories.

What I'd like is to to have an arborescence looking like :

	/users
	/users/alice
	/users/bob
	/users/cecil
	...

Each user directory shall have Dav access only to its owner (alice, bob, ...)
and webmaster.

The goal is to minimise modifications at server config (httpd.conf) - only Dav
enable directive - and control Dav access with .htaccess files inside each user
directory.

Roughly speaking, to add a new user, it should be enough to create the directory
with the good rights and to put inside the good .htaccess file.

I haven't succeeded to do this.

Suggestions are welcome.

Thanks

Jose-Marcio

I don't understand the problems.  You should just need to enable dav
on /users/* and then put "Require user bob" in the .htaccess file in
bob's directory and similarly for the others.  What's the
complication?
