[users@httpd] How to unlock files for dav?

Hi all,

I've had the same problem a few times, and I'm wondering if there's a
clean solution:
some users are accessing a web directory (an Apache 2.0.54 server) with
DreamWeaver, using WebDAV, It seems that sometimes, files and
directories get locked, and are never unlocked. A quick search on the
net found a few posts about this being a DreamWeaver problem.
The only solution I found was to delete the davlock DB and restart
Apache. While this worked, it's certainly not clean, and can create more
trouble since some real locks could be lost.

Is there any other way?

TIA,

Laurent

Yes, using the Java client DAVexplorer. But it failed, because I was not
logged in as the same user, apparently.

Have you tried sending an UNLOCK request manually?
