Before you can run WebDAV CGI you need to configure your web server and WebDAV CGI itself. The following configuration snippet serves as an example for the Apache HTTPD web server. You will have to adapt it to suite your own server and configuration needs. ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ "${VHOST_CGIBINDIR}/" AuthType Basic AuthName "WebDAV-CGI" AuthUserFile ${VHOST_ROOT}/etc/users.htpasswd Require valid-user Order Allow,Deny Allow from all RewriteEngine On RewriteRule ^/${VHOST_APPDIR}/logout /${VHOST_CGIBINDIR##*/}/logout [PT,E=REALM:WebDAV-CGI,E=HOMEURL:/${VHOST_APPDIR},L] RewriteRule ^/${VHOST_APPDIR} /${VHOST_CGIBINDIR##*/}/webdavwrapper [PT,E=WEBDAVCONF:${VHOST_ROOT}/etc/webdav.conf,E=PERLLIB:${VHOST_ROOT}/lib/perl,L] Afterwards you need to copy the default configuration file and edit it: cp -p ${VHOST_ROOT}/etc/{webdav.conf-dist,webdav.conf} \$EDITOR ${VHOST_ROOT}/etc/webdav.conf Also make sure that all system users which should be able to login to WebDAV CGI are able to access the installed files below ${VHOST_ROOT}.
