#12444 — Installing WebDAV server

Hi all,

I am completely new to Python, but I'm confronted with a problem I can't 
solve.
This is my question:

I'm running a PC with XP Pro32, which acts as a file server/print server/FTP 
server and web server. The web server is facilitated by the Aprelium Abyss 
X2 server, and has Perl and PHP support on http and https. It all works 
fine.
To do some research with some calender systems and to share the Outlook 
calendar I need a WebDAV server. After googling I found the Python WebDAV 
server.
I installed Python 3.2.1 and extracted the packages PyWebDAV and PyXML. Now 
I have a working Python app and 2 directories called PyWebDAV-0.9.4.1 and 
PyXML-0.8.4. In the PyWebDAV README it says:

Installation and setup of server can be as easy as follows:

$ easy_install PyWebDAV
$ davserver -D /tmp -n -J

But of course it doesn't work like that. When I start up Python GUI I see 
the ">>>" prompt instead of the "$" prompt. But where do I place the two 
directories? And there is no easy_install script in the PyXML-0.8.4 
directory, only a setup.py and ez_setup.py script. I guess the latter is the 
one to use. But how?

How do I proceed next?

Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

With regards,
Fokke Nauta

That is really not a *G*raphical User Interface, but the (text-based) Python 
shell.

> I see the ">>>" prompt instead of the "$" prompt.

  "Doctor, my arm hurts when I move it." – "Don't move it, then."

The Python shell executes Python code.  The above obviously is not Python 
code, but *system* shell commands.  So let the *system* command shell 
execute them (as indicated by the `$' prompt, which is customary for a
sh-based UNIX/Linux shell prompt).  

Since you use Windows XP, type `cmd' to get the command shell (if you knew 
MS-DOS, which I doubt, you are at home now).  However, you appear to have 
found the *UNIX/Linux* README (and the corresponding version?) of that 
server: the second command is usually how you would run a program as daemon 
on Unices (run through an init script), while on Windows NT (like XP) you 
would have a setup program install a service for you (maybe to execute that 
command when the service is started).  Look for the Windows version.

> But where do I place the two directories?

You do not; let easy_install place them in the correct packages directory 
(hence *easy* *install*).  That is very likely what the setup.py and 
ez_setup.py scripts are for (spell "ez" in English).

RTFM.
 
> How do I proceed next?

Look for the Windows version.  If there is none, get easy_install and use it 
as described.

Yes, I noticed. But the application has the name of Python GUI.

I don't see the point here ...

I know. I worked with SCO Unix and various sorts of Linux.
But never with Python, so I hadn't got a clue about the prompt.

I know MSDOS. I even worked with CP/M

There is no other Windows version except the packages I mentioned,  PyWebDAV 
and PyXML.
The only Windows thing I got was the Python interpreter itself.

ACK.  Admittedly I cannot remember having used Python on Windows (XP) except 
via Cygwin.

Do not run `python' or the "Python GUI", then.

Come on, with that experience you see a `$' and those commands and don't 
realize it is (ba)sh?

Has it not occurred to you to STFW for "easy_install" first?

That of the server, on Windows-related information.  Or that of 
easy_install.  Or Python.  Whichever comes first.

No, it means "Do your homework".

Ofcourse I realized it was Unix/Linux. I already could tell that as the 
packages I downloaded were tar.gz files.
So I unpacked them and expected to run a Python installer script from the 
Python command line.
Hence my question "How do I do that", but perhaps I did not make myself 
clear enough.

Tried to run the Python installer script from the DOS command line but that 
resulted in an error.

As I have Cygwin running as well, I could try to install it there instead of 
in Windows.

What do you mean by STFW?

I wasn't aware that easy_install was a utility. Downloaded and installed the 
Windows version and run easy_install pywebdav.
It downloaded something, installed something and finished something.
But, once again, don't know how to proceed.
Otherwise I'll give it a try under Cygwin.

It's my own server and I didn't write a manual for it.
In the manual of Easy_install it says how to install packaged etc and I did 
sucessfully.
There is no furter information as how to proceed. That's why I posted my 
question here.

I did and it worked. What's next?

Is that so hard? I have never used pywebdav but the first page I hit 
through Google search is:

http://code.google.com/p/pywebdav/

Where it says:

So you successfully ran easy_install. Then I guess you will have to look 
for a program named "davserver" and start it up. I suspect that 
searching for  "davserver.*" under your site-packages dir or Python 
installation dir will do.

Yes, but that's Unix/Linux again.
But I'm in Windows, without experience with Python.

Not really... The "easy_install" command is the same on windows. Maybe 
the command prompt is different, but the command itself is the same. 
Same is true with the "davserver" command. If you can find a 
"davserver.exe" or "davserver.py" or "davserver.pyw" file under 
site-packages or tools/scripts, then that will be the program that you 
need to start up. No magic.

Actually, I installed easy_install setuptools for Windows 
(setuptools-0.6c11.win32-py2.7.exe). Running easy_install generated an error 
message:
"Setuptools version 0.6c9 or greater has been installed.
(Run "ez_setup.py -U setuptools" to reinstall or upgrade.)"

I did, quite something happened but the same error message came back when 
retrying.

So, I installed it another way, indicated by Paul Kölle:
"navigate to the folder you downloaded PyXML and PyWebDAV and run "python 
setup.py
install" (python.exe has to be in your PATH). "

That worked fine, but:

There is no davserver script or executable. Please read my response to Paul 
Kölle.

	NO Python package installer runs "from the Python command line" (ie;
from a Python interactive session prompt).

	Typically you run them from the OS command interpreter. If the
installer is a .py file and the associations are correct, the Python
interpreter will be started to process the installer script. If the
associations aren't set, you may have to enter

python installer.py

at the system prompt instead of

installer.py

Sorry - I didn't come back on your question. In the mean time I forgot what 
the error message was.
But I installed it the way Paul Kölle mentioned:

"You dont install from "Python GUI", use normal cmd, navigate to the
folder you downloaded PyXML and PyWebDAV and run "python setup.py
install" (python.exe has to be in your PATH)."

Again, given all that experience you claim to have, how come it did not 
occur to you that the `$' was meant to be a *command* *shell* prompt?  Other 
OSes have command shells, too, you know; they are just named and run 
differently.

You dont install from "Python GUI", use normal cmd, navigate to the 
folder you downloaded PyXML and PyWebDAV and run "python setup.py 
install" (python.exe has to be in your PATH). Then you have to find the 
startup-script "davserver". Find your python installation directory and 
look into <Install dir>/Tools/Scripts, in my computer this is 
E:\python27\Tools\Scripts. PyXML and PyWebDAV get installed in the 
site-packages folder i.e. E:\python27\Lib/site-packages. You might have 
to look for "davserver" there...

Thanks, Paul.

I ran "python setup.py install" in both the PyXML and PyWebDAV directories. 
A lot of things happened and are added into those directories and I guess it 
will be OK.
Next step, the startup-script "davserver". There is no script as such, also 
not in \python27\tools\scripts.
I found 2 similar scripts:
1. server.py in D:\Python27\WebDAV\PyWebDAV\DAVServer
2. WebDAVServer.py in D:\Python27\WebDAV\PyWebDAV\DAV

Which one is the one to use?

I also configured config.ini in D:\Python27\WebDAV\PyWebDAV\DAVServer

In this file it says:
"# Auth Database Table, Must exists in database prior to firstrun
dbtable=webDav

# Create User Database Table and Insert system user"

I created in MySQL a database called webDav.
I can create a table called User, but how many fields?

With regards,
Fokke

Your install locations look odd, but it might work nevertheless. The 
server is in DAVServer\server.py, you can look at the file and you will see:

if __name__ == '__main__':
     run()

at the bottom. This is the "entry point" of a python script if called 
from the command line.

My install looks a bit different but I can start the server as follows:
python.exe 
E:\Python27\Lib\site-packages\pywebdav-0.9.4.1-py2.7.egg\DAVServer\server.py 
-D c:\home -n
WARNING:pywebdav:Authentication disabled!
Listening on localhost (8008)

>
> I also configured config.ini in D:\Python27\WebDAV\PyWebDAV\DAVServer
I would use a config file outside the program directory and use the -c 
or --config switch, run server.py without arguments to see possible 
startup options.

Don't know if that's documented somewhere but you can just look at the 
code in mysqlauth.py in the same directory as server.py. Seems it needs 
three columns, (User<string>,Pass<string>,can_write<0|1>) but I haven't 
tried.

Yes, it was server.py.

I have understood that the database will be configured with the first run, 
but in my case it didn't.

In my congig.ini there was
# Create User Database Table and Insert system user
# Disable after the Table is created; for performance reasons
firstrun=1

	I'd suggest browsing the server code to find the MySQLdb calls and
see what it requests... (mysqlqauth.py).

	Note that there are two layers involved here...

	The MySQL authorized user/password for the connection string TO the
webDAV table, and then webDAV authorized user/passwords IN said table.

	Note that dbconn.py defines a class which included a method to
create the table and a method to add users. Oh, and a "first_run" method
which creates the table and inserts supplied user/password pair. I don't
have time to search the code for if that is used, or if you'd have to
manually invoke it somewhere.


	From the little I've looked at, while PywebDAV includes working
servers -- they are really demo servers... The package appears to be
designed for the user to develop their customized version.

	After looking at the config file…
 
	I presume you have specified the MySQL username/password
(personally, and out of paranoia, I’d create a webDAV user/password that
only has access rights to the specified webDAV database).
 
	Next, if you’d read further and didn’t take the comment as the
instruction… set 
		firstrun=1
to tell the server this is the first time it is being run – IT WILL
create the database table (after the first start, reset the flag to 0 to
speed up later runs).
 
	Later in the config file set
		mysql_auth=1
to enable the use of MySQL, and set the admin user/password to what you
plan to have it use.
 
	You probably want to set
		daemonize=1
(maybe after first run)
 
	Oh, and don’t forget to set the main data directory and any
