The following procedures describe how to create the "users/user_name/WebDAV" directory using
the procedure for creating the directory under "C:/Program Files/Apache Group/Apache2" in the
Windows file system as an example.
Apache 1.3 is provided with Mac OS X. If Apache is not installed in the computer you are using, install the version for
the operating system you are using (downloadable from the Apache Software Foundation Web site at http://www.
apache.org/.) before entering these settings. (See "System Requirements" in “Sending Data,” on p. 3-6.) If you want
to use SSL, install a version of Apache that supports SSL (downloadable from the Apache-SSL official Web site
at http://www.apache-ssl.org/). After installing Apache, start it and confirm that the Apache service is working
properly.
If you are using Mac OS X, root has ownership of the Apache setting file (/etc/httpd/httpd.conf). In this case,
perform one of the following procedures before specifying the WebDAV settings. For more information, see the
documentation provided with your Macintosh or the Apache Software Foundation Web site at http://www.apache.
org/.
Obtain root access from the Terminal, using the sudo or su command
In the Finder, temporarily change the permissions for the Apache setting file to give permission to the user who
will set the WebDAV server (return the permissions for the Apache setting file to their original values after setting
the WebDAV server.)
Server authentication is required for sending to a WebDAV server. Enable authentication before using a WebDAV
server. The authentication methods available for the server are the Basic and Digest authentication methods,
and authentication errors will occur if you try to use another authentication method. If you set both the Basic and
Digest authentication methods, the authentication method you set last will be enabled. Use the user names and
passwords registered in the address book of the WebDAV server for authentication. For instructions on how to set
authentication methods, see the Apache Software Foundation Web site at http://www.apache.org/.
The machine does not support sending to a Windows Vista computer using WebDAV. However, it is possible to view
documents sent to the WebDAV server on the network from Windows Vista.
1 Edit httpd.conf.
Erase # on the left of the line to enable the WebDAV modules.
Directive to be changed:
Before change
#LoadModule dav_module modules/mod_dav.so
#LoadModule dav_fs_module modules/mod_dav_fs.so
After change
LoadModule dav_module modules/mod_dav.so
LoadModule dav_fs_module modules/mod_dav_fs.so
