How To Set Up WebDAV With Apache2 On Mandriva 2010.1 Spring

This guide explains how to set up WebDAV with Apache2 on a Mandriva 2010.1 Spring server. WebDAV stands for Web-based Distributed Authoring and Versioning and is a set of extensions to the HTTP protocol that allow users to directly edit files on the Apache server so that they do not need to be downloaded/uploaded via FTP. Of course, WebDAV can also be used to upload and download files.

1 Preliminary Note

I'm using a Mandriva 2010.1 Spring server with the IP address 192.168.0.100 here.

 

2 Installing WebDAV

First, we update our package database:

urpmi.update -a

Next we install Apache and the Apache WebDAV module:

urpmi apache apache-mod_dav

Next we open /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf and uncomment the following three lines in the LoadModule section (make sure you delete the following string at the end of these lines because otherwise Apache might complain about a syntax error: -> available in the apache-mod_dav package):

vi /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf
