Sunbird through Apache WebDav

[John Garmany <ga...@proxitec.com>]

Hi all, Happy New Year,

  I am having a frustrating time trying to set up webdav to support a 
shared sunbird calender on FC2 x86_64.  Httpd has been up for months 
without problem.  I followed the instruction here:

http://www.twilight-systems.com/flacco/mozcal/mozcal-webdav-apache2-rh9.html 


Everything worked, I created and setup the certificate.  Https:// worked 
(I got the FC page secure after accepting the certificate.However, when 
I try to get test.txt at the end I get:

You don't have permission to access /webdav/garmanyj/test.txt on this 
server.

Here is what I added to my ssl.conf

Alias /webdav/ "/var/www/webdav/"

DavLockDB /tmp/DAVLock
# DAVMinTimeout 600

<Directory /var/www/webdav/>
  DAV on
  AuthType Basic
  AuthName "WebDAV Restricted
  AuthUserFile /etc/httpd/passwd/passwd.dav
</Directory>
#
<Directory /var/www/webdav/<mydirectory>/>
  require user <username>
</Directory>

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

John

What appears to be missing from this section is the access controls, the
block of:

Order deny,allow
Allow from all

By default, Apache is configured to deny access to everyone to the
entire filesystem. It then opens up access for particular directories
(namely the web root). Since you've set up a directory outside the web
root, it presumably has denied access to everyone, in addition to asking
for authentication. Add those two lines to the Webdav directory
container (or Satisfy Any), and it should start working for you.

Cheers,
