<h2><a name="example" id="example">Enabling WebDAV</a></h2>
<p>To enable <code class="module"><a href="../mod/mod_dav.html">mod_dav</a></code>, add the following to a
container in your <code>httpd.conf</code> file:</p>
- <div class="example"><p><code>Dav On</code></p></div>
+ <pre class="prettyprint lang-config">Dav On</pre>
+
<p>This enables the DAV file system provider, which is implemented
by the <code class="module"><a href="../mod/mod_dav_fs.html">mod_dav_fs</a></code> module. Therefore, that module
must be compiled into the server or loaded at runtime using the
<code class="directive"><a href="../mod/mod_so.html#loadmodule">LoadModule</a></code> directive.</p>
-
+
<p>In addition, a location for the DAV lock database must be
specified in the global section of your <code>httpd.conf</code>
- file:</p>
+ file using the <code class="directive"><a href="../mod/mod_dav_fs.html#davlockdb">DavLockDB</a></code>
+ directive:</p>
- <div class="example"><p><code>
+ <pre class="prettyprint lang-config">
DavLockDB /usr/local/apache2/var/DavLock
- </code></p></div>
+ </pre>
+
<p>The directory containing the lock database file must be
- writable by the <code class="directive"><a href="../mod/mpm_common.html#user">User</a></code>
- and <code class="directive"><a href="../mod/mpm_common.html#group">Group</a></code> under which
- Apache is running. For security reasons, you should create a
- directory for this purpose rather than changing the permissions on
- an existing directory. In the above example, Apache will create
- files in the <code>/usr/local/apache2/var/</code> directory
- with the base filename <code>DavLock</code> and extension name
- chosen by the server.</p>
+ writable by the <code class="directive"><a href="../mod/mod_unixd.html#user">User</a></code>
+ and <code class="directive"><a href="../mod/mod_unixd.html#group">Group</a></code> under which
+ Apache is running.</p>
<p>You may wish to add a <code class="directive"><a href="../mod/core.html#limit"><Limit></a></code> clause inside the <code class="directive"><a href="../mod/core.html#location"><Location></a></code> directive to limit access to
DAV-enabled locations. If you want to set the maximum amount of
directive. The "normal" <code class="directive"><a href="../mod/core.html#limitrequestbody">LimitRequestBody</a></code> directive has no effect on DAV
requests.</p>

- DavLockDB /tmp/DavLock<br />

- <Location /foo><br />
- <span class="indent">

<h2><a name="security" id="security">Security Issues</a></h2>
<p>In order for <code class="module"><a href="../mod/mod_dav.html">mod_dav</a></code> to manage files, it must
be able to write to the directories and files under its control
- using the <code class="directive"><a href="../mod/mpm_common.html#user">User</a></code> and
- <code class="directive"><a href="../mod/mpm_common.html#group">Group</a></code> under which

+ <code class="directive"><a href="../mod/mod_unixd.html#group">Group</a></code> under which
Apache is running. New files created will also be owned by this
- <code class="directive"><a href="../mod/mpm_common.html#user">User</a></code> and <code class="directive"><a href="../mod/mpm_common.html#group">Group</a></code>. For this reason, it is
+ <code class="directive"><a href="../mod/mod_unixd.html#user">User</a></code> and <code class="directive"><a href="../mod/mod_unixd.html#group">Group</a></code>. For this reason, it is
important to control access to this account. The DAV repository
is considered private to Apache; modifying files outside of Apache
(for example using FTP or filesystem-level tools) should not be
will run the script, and one of which will allow it to be
downloaded and manipulated with DAV.</p>
-<div class="example"><p><code>
-Alias /phparea /home/gstein/php_files<br />
-Alias /php-source /home/gstein/php_files<br />
+<pre class="prettyprint lang-config">
+Alias /phparea /home/gstein/php_files
+Alias /php-source /home/gstein/php_files
<Location /php-source>

- DAV On<br />
- ForceType text/plain<br />
-</span>
+ DAV On
+ ForceType text/plain
</Location>
-</code></p></div>
+</pre>
+
<p>With this setup, <code>http://example.com/phparea</code> can be
used to access the output of the PHP scripts, and
<p>Use the <code class="directive">Dav</code> directive to enable the
WebDAV HTTP methods for the given container:</p>
- <div class="example"><p><code>
- <Location /foo><br />
- <span class="indent">
- Dav On<br />
- </span>
- </Location>
- </code></p></div>
+ <pre class="prettyprint lang-config">
+<Location /foo>
+ Dav On
+</Location>
+ </pre>
+
<p>The value <code>On</code> is actually an alias for the default
provider <code>filesystem</code> which is served by the <code class="module"><a href="../mod/mod_dav_fs.html">mod_dav_fs</a></code> module. Note, that once you have DAV enabled
(like 600 seconds) to reduce the chance of the client losing
the lock due to network latency.</p>

- <span class="indent">
- DavMinTimeout 600<br />
