I have a zope instance listening on localhost. I use apache and fastcgi to reach zope. Now I would like to provide webdav. Since my apache is already doing ssl, I wanted webdav connections to also go through apache.
when I use cadaver and connect to my zope zope through apache, all works well even though I have specified in my zope.conf file that webdav listen on localhost:8088 (it seems that cadaver is smart enough working through the fastcgi interface to just work).
When attempting to using dreamweaver mx or windows webfolders to connect to zope I get an error.
So I attempted to use an apache proxy pass directive to campture all urls at myzopeserver.edu:8088/webdav back to localhost:8088. This had no effect. cadaver was still able to work. Dreamweaver (using webdav site setup) and windows webfolders still failed.
What deep magic do I need to make dav work through apache? ( would prefer to have all things go through fastcgi but I understand the trend is to use proxy-pass )
I just got this working myself, although I am using apache as a proxy, not fastcgi. If you already have ssl working with apache and can access zope through apache without ssl, it shouldn't be difficult. The main thing is to add a virtual host in your apache config for SSL and modify the rewrite line to use https:. I found the following document helpful: http://www.zope.org/Members/tmckibben/HowTo.2004-04-13.0659 It uses FastCGI, so it should more closely match your setup than mine -- Take care, eh. Chris
