Can't write on Webdav mounted drive

[Saorex]

Hi guys. I use davfs2 to mount a Webdav drive at startup. It mounts correctly and I have read access to all files my account gives me access to. One big problem though: I can't create of modify any file. I know it is not a user account problem because everything works well when I mount the drive in Windows 7 using WebDrive.

Here's the entry in /etc/fstab to automatically mount the drive:

http://someserver.local/docs /home/my_user/km_docs davfs user,rw,auto 0 0

The Webdav is hosted on a local SAP Portal server (if anyone is familiar with this).

I also tried to use Cadaver. It connects and reads perfectly. But when I try to create a file, I get a "409 Conflict" error, even the file has never existed on the server before.

Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks a lot!

I finally made a successful file creation with Cadaver. Turns out to be s very simple problem outside of Cadaver's scope.

I also found PHP WebDAV (http://php-webdav.pureftpd.org/project/php-webdav) which will be a great tool for this PHP project I'm working on.

Thanks to all those who read me and *tried* to help... Hehe!

Hi Saorex,

have the same problem or at least a similar: I get an "409 Conflict" error when I try to write with cadaver on my WebDAV space. Everything else works fine.

What was the solution in your case?

Turns out to be s very simple problem outside of Cadaver's scope.

Error 409 means: the problem exists on the client side. In my case it was a classical PEBKAC and is now solved, too. I used the wrong syntax.

You can put a file on the server with one of the following commands:

# put the file to the working dir (on the server)
put /tmp/test.file
# put the file to the server with a new name
put /tmp/test.file renamed.file
# put the file into an existing directory on the server
put /tmp/test.file /testdir/test.file

Maybe this will help someone else to fix this issue. Or in other word: I hope that I'm not the only PEBKAC
