Trying to get a simple WebDAV area set up for sharing files. I can retrieve a index.html from the area with a browser, but trying to mount the WebDAV area in the OS X Finder, it errors after authentication.

The configuration:

VirtualHost {
        Hostname = les-wg.engin.umich.edu
        WebsiteRoot = /Volumes/LES/test
        StartFile = index.html
        AccessLogfile = /usr/local/var/log/hiawatha/access.log
        ErrorLogfile = /usr/local/var/log/hiawatha/error.log
        WebDAVapp = yes
        PasswordFile = basic:/usr/local/etc/hiawatha/dav.passwd,/usr/local/etc/hiawatha/dav.group
        RequiredGroup = users
        AlterGroup = users
        AllowDotFiles = yes
}

I'm sure I must be missing something basic, but I can't figure out what... ?

Hiawatha version: 9.3.1
Operating System: OS X 10.7.5

What WebDAV application are you using?

It's just the WebDAV built-in to the OS X 10.9 Finder.

I meant on the webserver. All Hiawatha does with WebDAV

app=yes is forward the WebDAV requests to the WebDAV enabled CGI application. An example of such app is ownCloud.

Oh ho, I see ... like I said, I thought I was missing something basic! I was expecting similar WebDAV behavior like Apache or lighty handling it internally, and didn't realize I needed something else to handle it. ownCloud is overkill, I just need something simple.

Thanks very much for the help!

What about gpFinder [gpfinder.org]?
