29 <identifier>dav_fs_module</identifier>
32 <p>This module <em>requires</em> the service of <module
33 >mod_dav</module>. It acts as a support module for <module
34 >mod_dav</module> and provides access to resources located in the
35 server's file system. The formal name of this provider is
36 <code>filesystem</code>. <module>mod_dav</module> backend providers
37 will be invoked by using the <directive module="mod_dav">Dav</directive>
40 <example><title>Example</title>
44 <p>Since <code>filesystem</code> is the default provider for
45 <module>mod_dav</module>, you may simply use the value
46 <code>On</code> instead.</p>

53 <syntax>DavLockDB <var>file-path</var></syntax>
54 <contextlist><context>server config</context><context>virtual host</context>
58 <p>Use the <directive>DavLockDB</directive> directive to specify
59 the full path to the lock database, excluding an extension. If
60 the path is not absolute, it will be taken relative to <directive
61 module="core">ServerRoot</directive>. The implementation of
62 <module>mod_dav_fs</module> uses a SDBM database to track user
65 <!-- XXX: someone should add that tool to the support directory...
66 The utility <code>modules/dav/util/lockview</code> can be used from
67 the server to display all locks in a lock database.</p> -->
69 <example><title>Example</title>
73 <p>The directory containing the lock database file must be
74 writable by the <directive module="mod_unixd">User</directive>
75 and <directive module="mod_unixd" >Group</directive> under which
76 Apache is running. For security reasons, you should create a
77 directory for this purpose rather than changing the permissions on
78 an existing directory. In the above example, Apache will create
79 files in the <code>var/</code> directory under the <directive
80 module="core">ServerRoot</directive> with the base filename
81 <code>DavLock</code> and extension name chosen by the server.</p>
