The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

Howto get authorization in WebDAV/Apache to work

Asked by drexl in WebDAV File Sharing, Apache Web Server

Tags: Authorization WebDAV Apache

Hi,

I've been trying to set up a webdav service on my Apache server. It all works (both from windows and Ubuntu) fine without the LimitExcept tags activated. But as soon as I activate those tags (no SSL involved yet) I keep getting the user/pass popup in IE and get a

"Cannot display location "dav://davuser@xx.xxx.xx.xxx/davhome
HTTP Error: Moved Permanently"

in Ubuntu's "connect to server" client.

See the code section for relevant configuration/log files.

I created the DAVLock file and chown:ed it to www-data:www-data so that should not be an issue (should not) :|

Any help in this matter would be greatly appreciated.

As you can see from the dav_fs.conf I've tried different approaches to the LimitExcept tag (information I found from other threads).
