[users@httpd] Re: mod_dav on a shared hosting.

Hi!
As this question is not really mod_dav centered, I hope you guys can
help!

Thank you, I'll just suppose that ls(1) is too much of a hacking tool
for plain users to use it on this server :-)

You can check the Group directive used in httpd.conf and give write
permissions to that group.
But in general, mod_dav is not an appropriate tool for mixed
file-system and web access. It expects to have complete and private
control of the directories that it is using.

Oh, and while I'm at it, ... My provider offers ssh access to the
accounts, and everyone can access my files if I put them with the wrong
rights. Problem is, those lazy administrators will add the <Location>
lines, but the only way to make my ~/www/webdav directory writable for
httpd is to use a o+w right.
(I can't suppose that o+w excludes other regular users, as each user has
a different group.)
Do you know another way to avoid such an heresy?
Thanks !

Aaah, THAT simple! Thanks for having taken the time to answer such a
n00b question :-)

Sure. Just put that <Location> section in the main server config
(outside any <VirtualHost> section) and it will be inherited by all
vhosts.
