[MarkLogic Dev General] Accessing a MarkLogic WebDav Serverbehindan Apache Web Server

[McBeath, Darin W (ELS-STL)]

I didn't think that was necessary as apache was just proxying to the webdav server.  But, perhaps that was a bad assumption. Perhaps, this is needed in order to get apache to accept the propfind verb. I will give that a go.  In hindsight, I can see that might make sense.

Just a total guess – do you have the mod_dav module installed and configured?

Ok, I searched the discussion group for an answer to this question, but had little luck.  There was a discussion back in January 2007 … but no resolution … the thread just stopped.

 

So, I’m curious if anyone has successfully accessed and MarkLogic WebDav Server via an Apache Web Server.  I do this all of the time when accessing a MarkLogic HTTP Server, but now I have a need to do this for a WebDav Server.  I have tried all different variants within Apache (RewriteRules, ProxyPass, etc.) but have had little luck.  As far as I can tell the Apache Web Server is issuing a 405 (method not supported) on the PROPFIND.   It doesn’t appear the request is ever getting to MarkLogic.  So, I would agree that this is likely not a MarkLogic issue but am just curious if anyone else on this list has encountered the same problem and successfully configured Apache.  If I connect ‘directly’ to the WebDav server (not going through Apache), then everything works fine … but, I don’t want to open a bunch of holes in my firewall so that is really not an option.

 

 For my WebDav client, I’m using the Windows Network Places Explorer.

 

Thanks.

 

Darin.
