Helping Andy share info for his wedding, I set up DAV under apache 2. The config looks really friendly:

<IfModule mod_dav.c> DavLockDB /tmp/DavLockDB DavMinTimeout 600 </IfModule> <VirtualHost *:80> DocumentRoot "/var/www/site.haller.ws/web" ServerName site.haller.ws <Directory "/var/www/site.haller.ws/web"> Dav On Options Indexes AllowOverride All Order allow,deny Allow from all </Directory> Include /etc/apache2/vhosts.d/_vhost-base </VirtualHost>

This works without problem for cadaver. However, Andy's windows XP couldn't connect to 'http://site.haller.ws/'. It turns out that XP (surprise) needs special attention because it actually needs the webfolder url to end in a hash mark. I.e. I mapped the webfolder's url as 'http://site.haller.ws/#' and XP finally understood what was happening.
