Description

I downloaded and compiled version 1.4.11 on a Sun Ultra 5 running Solaris 8, using gcc 3.3.2 from www.sunfreeware.com.
Server runs very nice, but mod_webdav has a long way to go. I tryed connecting to a DAV folder from both Windows XP and Linux (Gentoo, running GNOME Nautilus 2.10.1), and both have issues uploading files to lighttpd. Nautilus gets confused when creating the file, or when creating a directory and then renaming it. Windows upload simply does not work, but leaves a temp file in the server.

I have the same problem on Fedora Core 5 (from core rpm), connecting from Mac OS X 10.4 . Can edit existing files, but can't rename or create files or directories. Error: The name "example" is already taken.

Too old, and we need concrete examples with http-headers (request and response). The litmus test is working except for locking, so i think it should be ok now.

I have compiled version 1.4.19 on Mac OSX with the mod_webdav... Unfortunately it's impossible to create or copy a directory from Windows XP or Mac OS. For files it's OK.

For exemple : Windows say me -> Unable to create a folder named "test". Please enter a different name. Write permissions on the target filesystem are OK.

What can I do ? Thanks :)

check the permissions on the server side.

Replying to darix:

check the permissions on the server side.

Permissions are sets to 777 on the webdav folder and upload-directory folder...

Check the log on the server, to see the sequence of DAV operations. A long time ago (when I created this post) I had exactly the same problem, and it was, to my mind, a problem in the lighttpd (mod_dav, to be exact)..

I have changed all mkdir functions in mod_webdav.c with : mkdir(path, 0777) and everything works fine... You can close the ticket.. Thanks :)

#define WEBDAV_DIR_MODE  S_IRWXU | S_IRWXG | S_IRWXO

That should already be 0777...

Your are right... My problem is not permissions. I have compiled lighty on iPhone OS 2.1, (arm-apple-darwin) with the mod_webdav embeded. Everything works fine but my problem is with the WebDavFS Client in Mac OS X (10.5).. When I try to upload a file larger than ~100K, it failed. It seems that WebDAVFS uses chunked requests. mod-webdav supports chunked encodind requests ? It is an other problem ? Thanks for your help !
