30 Chapter 3 Managing Websites
Enabling WebDAV on Websites
Web-based Distributed Authoring and Versioning (WebDAV) allows you or your users
to make changes to websites while the sites are running. If you enable WebDAV, you
also need to assign access privileges for the sites and for the web folders.
To enable WebDAV for a site:
1 In Server Admin, click Web in the list for the server you want.
2 Click Settings in the button bar.
3 In the Sites pane, double-click the site in the list.
4 In the Options pane, select WebDAV and click Save.
5 Click Realms. Double-click a realm to edit it, or click the Add button to create a new
realm.
The realm is the part of the website users can access.
6 Type the name you want users to see when they log in.
The default realm name is “untitled.”
7 If you want digest authentication for the realm, choose Digest from the Authorization
pop-up menu.
Basic authorization is on by default.
8 Type the path to the location in the website to which you want to limit access, and
click OK.
You can also click the Browse button to locate the folder you want to use.
If you are administering a remote server, file service must be running on the remote
server to use the Browse button.
9 Click Save.
Web service restarts.
Note: If you have turned off the WebDAV modules in the Modules pane of Server
Admin, you must turn it on again before WebDAV takes effect for a site. This is true
even if the WebDAV option is checked in the Options pane for the site. See “Apache
Modules” on page 61 for more about enabling modules.
