Apache dav modules produce cadaver: Could not access / (not WebDAV-enabled?)

  • 772

I installed apache then I am able to access the default page from the command line:

$ wget http://127.0.1.1

Using webmin in web browser:

https://localhost:10000/

Servers>Apache WebServer>Global configuration>Configure Apache Modules>

Enable the dav modules:

Configure Apache Modules
Module    Current state
dav       Enable
dav_fs    Enable
dav_lock  Enable
<Enable Selected Modules>

Restarted apache at command line:

$ sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 restart

Invoke command line dav client:

$ cadaver http://127.0.1.1
Could not access / (not WebDAV-enabled?):
405 Method Not Allowed
Connection to `127.0.1.1' closed.
dav:!>

What is missing?

linux apache-2.2 configuration webdav

  1. What does Apache's error log say? I find the error log to be very useful in troubleshooting WebDAV errors.

    Did you enable WebDAV for any URLs? Example:

    <Location />
   Dav On
</Location>

    Did you set up a DavLockDB?
