Here you have find an example for a WebDAV configuration in Apache that is used for JADE file transfers.
Prerequisites
- Make sure that the modules dav_module, dav_fs_module and dav_lock_module are loaded.
- See http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/mod/mod_dav.html, http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/mod/mod_dav_fs.html and http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/mod/mod_dav_lock.html for more information.
Example of WebDAV configuration
Code Block | ||
---|---|---|
| ||
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerAdmin webmaster@sos-berlin.com
ServerName homer.sos
ServerAlias homer.sos
# don't loose time with IP address lookups
HostnameLookups Off
# needed for named virtual hosts
UseCanonicalName Off
# configures the footer on server-generated documents
ServerSignature On
Alias /jade /tmp/test/jade
<Directory /tmp/test/jade/ >
Options Indexes MultiViews
AllowOverride None
Order allow,deny
allow from all
</Directory>
<Location /jade >
DAV On
AuthType Basic
AuthName "webdav"
AuthUserFile /srv/www/passwd.dav
Require valid-user
ErrorDocument 400 default
ErrorDocument 401 default
ErrorDocument 403 default
ErrorDocument 404 default

- Make sure that the Apache user (e.g. wwwrun) has sufficient permissions
...
- for the above WebDAV directory /tmp/test/jade.
- It is strongly recommended that you configure all Apache ErrorDocument to
default
in the WebDAV location or you remove all ErrorDocument in the httpd.conf.- If you send a file with JADE to an Apache WebDAV server then JADE checks wether the target file
...
- exists.
- If the target file doesn't exist then the Apache WebDAV server response will include the ErrorDocument 404 in addition to the HTTP Status 404.
- If the ErrorDocument 404 points e.g. to /error/HTTP_NOT_FOUND.html.var then the answer of the Apache takes much longer (~1 minute).
Example for WebDAV configuration behind a proxy
Change directory the <Directory> element of the above configuration so that only exclusively the proxy has access to the WebDAV location:
Code Block | ||
---|---|---|
| ||
# allow only from proxy server 192.11.0.222 <Directory /tmp/test/jade/ > Options Indexes MultiViews AllowOverride None Order allow,deny allow from 192.11.0.222 </Directory> |
Where 192.11.0.222 is the IP address of the proxy server.
