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>
41 <highlight language="config">
46 <p>Since <code>filesystem</code> is the default provider for
47 <module>mod_dav</module>, you may simply use the value
48 <code>On</code> instead.</p>

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