    Hi,

    I am a newie using apache.

    Now, I have made dav module available on my apache server (add Dav on in httpd.config). However, I don't know how to test dav function on apache server. Actually, I am also a bit confused about the function about this dav module on apache. Following is a description about dav module:

    Web-based Distributed Authoring and Versioning (WebDAV) uses extensions to the existing HTTP protocol to enable multiple users to manage and modify the files in a remote system. Using suitably enabled clients you can view, open, edit and save files directly into the filesystem of the Web site as it were of a remote website

    If anybody is quite familiar with this, plz let me know how to execute to check if dav module works on my apache server.

    Thanks a lot!

    Jason

    Uh, if you are not familiar with DAV, perhaps you shouldn't be installing it. If you don't configure it right, you may just open your server up to the world.

    The most common client that uses DAV would be any SVN client, such as TortoiseSVN for windows. You need to have SVN configured on the server, too, though, in addition to DAV in the web server.
