webdav how to

Hi All,

is there a way to enable webdav via webmin? I found an option to activate the modules but none

to configure the virtual hosts.

Or can you tell me what apache config file to edit to enable it for a specific host.

Thanks for you help.

TBH I have no idea

But seeing as TKL v11.x is Ubuntu 10.04/Lucid under the hood then any instructions you find for that should directly relate to TKL. Sorry I can't help you any more than that...

Glad you got it working

And since TKL is now Debian based here is an updated link to a working config.

*Tested on Debian 7.4.0

Great work!

Thanks for posting back, that's awesome!

Update: I decided to add this to the docs because I thought it is a very useful thing. I tweaked your example a little and added some extra detail. Please feel free to tweak it further if you think I got it wrong (the docs are a wiki so all logged in users can edit). Also I still need to double check it by testing it out to confirms that it works as it should.

If anyone has a chance and can double check, that'd be great! :)

Even simpler

Be sure to activate the modules: (simply hit that into the shell)

a2enmod dav_fs

a2enmod dav

and add somthing like that to you virtual host config:

Alias /webdav /anywhere

<Location /webdav>
DAV On
SSLRequireSSL
Options None
AuthType Basic
AuthName webdav
AuthUserFile /topasswd/passwdadmin.dav

<LimitExcept GET OPTIONS>
Require valid-user
</LimitExcept>

</Location>

Even nice

Yours is of course even nicer and it is the full story with permissions and password creation!
I tested it in one machine, when I use it again I will post it here!

I was really struggling to get WebDAV working and had no idea where to start. This post and the follow-up comments saved me a lot of time. The steps and the config snippet shared here made everything click, and I was able to enable WebDAV on my server in no time.

Also, I recently set up my Python environment using [this guide to install miniconda ubuntu](https://docs.vultr.com/how-to-install-miniconda-on-ubuntu-24-11), and it worked seamlessly for me! Thanks again for this awesome resource, I really appreciate it! Keep up the great work!
