Topic: Apache broken after installing WEBdav

[bart-s]

Hello everyone,

I would like to use SME as a WEBdav server to share my calandar using Mozilla Sunbird, Horde Kronolith etc. I've followed this howto to install MODdav: http://no.longer.valid/phpwiki/index.php/How%20to%20install%20mod_dav
The howto is written for SME 6.X, and I'm using 7.0pre1 (that's probably the reason why I'm in trouble right now..). I've used this RedHat rpm: mod_dav-1.0.3-5.i386.rpm
Everything worked fine, only this command gave an unspecified error:
 /sbin/e-smith/expand-template /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf

The command to restart apache didn't work, so I rebooted the whole server. Since then, apache seems to be broken. My webbrowser can't establish a connection to the server-manager, so I'm not able tot change anything there. The apache logfile /var/log/httpd/error_log looks normal, so I'm a bit lost right now..

Is there anyone who could help me to get apache working again? The MODdav module doesn't have to work, that's not a big issue at the moment. It would be very great if I can get apache working again to be able to use webmail and the server-manager again..

Thanks!

As stated many places on this site...Contribs and How-to's for earlier versions of SME WILL MOST LIKELY NOT WORK on SME7.  This particular How-to also deals with db settings.  httpd.conf and the db locations have changed so that how-to needs updating for SME7.  See this thred for more info.

RedHat rpm: mod_dav-1.0.3-5.i386.rpm

Is this a CentOS4.2 RPM?  If not, it probably won't work.  Remember, SME7 is currently based on Centos4.2.

You can try this to get back where you started:

Remove the RPM
Delete /var/run/davLocks
Delete all those custom templates then re-expand the templates
/sbin/e-smith/expand-template /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf
Make sure you don't get any errors.
Restart your web server with
/etc/rc7.d/S86httpd-e-smith restart

This should remove what you did.

Thanks for your support! My server is working again!
This has been a good lesson for me...I will not use any howto's written for a previous version of SME again

I have quite same problem when i use this howto to configure webdav on SME  7Rc3

Each time i do a RPM install, or an ibay creation the httpd.conf file goes wrong and crash apache

this line goes this way :

<Directory
 /home/e-smith/files/ibays/ical/html>
    DAV On
</Directory>

instead of this one

<Directory /home/e-smith/files/ibays/ical/html>
    DAV On
</Directory>

i do a hand correction, a /etc/rc7.d/S86httpd-e-smith restart, and everything works great. But this solution sucks

Any solution ?

I guess there is some sort of return hidden in your template generating this section. Can you verify or post the relevant section so we can verify it?

[kloo]

relevant section in httpd.conf file ?

here it is.... my ibay is "ical"

It seems it goes wrong when i play the last command "/sbin/e-smith/signal-event ibay-modify ical"

There is a howto for webdav for SME7 here ...

http://no.longer.valid/phpwiki/index.php/How%20to%20install%20mod_dav%20on%20SME%207.x

Works no probs

I solved "my" problem.

Simply when i copied past the 95AddModDav2ibays template from contribs.org to putty (with m$) it adds a unknow line in the code.

I corrected the template and it works fine... It takes me a long while to find that mistake, but i learned a lot of stuff instead.

thx for support

Hi

I have followed the howto in the first post but I need to know if it is at all possible to setup the webdav to make use of usernames and password and not the ibay username and password. I need users to login using their own id's.

Also

can i make it so they can access their own user areas?

i use 6.0.1 or is this a feature on 7?

Thanks in advance

Kobus
