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

[McBeath, Darin W (ELS-STL)]

Ok, I have installed and configured the mod_dav module but still having
no luck.

So, out of curiosity, has anyone ever gotten something like this to work
and if so, would you care to share the details with those who are
becoming very frustrated :-)

Thanks.

Darin.

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.
