RE: Apache file sever in windows XP

Joshua,

We have a program that basically does this, if you load yoics onto your
machine http://www.yoics.com - and setup a folder to share via webDav, you
can go to:

C:\program files\yoics\sharing\conf

And check out the httpd.conf file & see how we configure it. Normally I'd
just send you the snippit - but unfortunately I'm not our apache guy - so
have no idea what I should send.

Best

Ryo

Subject: Apache file sever in windows XP

i recently set up an svn server using apache on a windows XP machine, which
works great. i'd now like to also have a file server also accessible using
a standard web browser, but not including version control, ie webDAV.
however, i do not seem to be able to get my httpd.conf file appropriately.
of the websites i've been able to find providing instructions, none have
worked. here is what i have:

1) i added the following line to the LoadModule's section of the httpd.conf
file

LoadModule dav_module modules/mod_dav.dll

2) i then added the following lines at the very end of the httpd.conf file

DAVLockDB /tmp/DAVLock
DAVMinTimeout 600

<Location /dav/>
    DAV On
    AuthType Basic
    AuthName "WebDAV Restricted"
    AuthUserFile /export/http/webs/pri.mcslp/dav/.DAVlogin
    <LimitExcept GET HEAD OPTIONS>
        Require user webdav
    </LimitExcept>
</Location>

3) then, i understand that if i were using UNIX, i should enter the
following into a command prompt:

mkdir /export/http/webs/pri.mcslp/dav
chgrp www /export/http/webs/pri.mcslp/dav
chmod 775 /export/http/webs/pri.mcslp/dav
htpasswd -c /export/http/webs/pri.mcslp/dav/.DAVlogin webdav

clearly, in dos, the syntax is different in that one must replace '/' with
'\'. however, i cannot find an analagous 'chgrp' and 'chmod' for windows,
and creating the password command does not work either. also, do where does
this folder go? is it c:\export\....? or something else? any help, such as
pointing me to a website that has the answers, would be greatly appreciated.
