There is a file indeed, in d:\Webdav

I have seen this part. Do I need to alter it?

I have re-installed Python and the setuptool, and tried the Python version 
of Active, but it did not make a difference.
So now I use the "old" Python 2.7 again. Used easy_install to install 
PyWebDAV. I now run davserver.exe from the Script directory. Still the same 
problem.
What I found, however, was that if I specify the directory from the command 
line (like davserver -D d:\Webdav -n) there is no error message as 
"INFO:fshandler :get_data: D:\Webdav not found". The browser shows still the 
404 error.
The error "INFO:fshandler :get_data: D:\Webdav not found" only occurs when I 
specify the "-c config.ini" in the command line.

I didn't expect it to be this so tricky. It looked easy to set up an 
experimental webdav server.
