It didn't create the table. The database kept empty.

I left host and port as they were. The main directory is e:\wwwroot

I started the server with server.py (in
D:\Python27\WebDAV\PyWebDAV\DAVServer) -D e:/wwwroot -m -c config.ini

The seems to work as I get a login screen in the browser.

Later on I changed the ini file:

# disable auth
noauth = 1

# Enable mysql auth
mysql_auth=0

No login screen anymore but I got an error message "fshandler:get_data: 
e:\wwwroot not found"

	Odd -- but then, I'm not running it myself, and wasn't up to reading
all the code to see what path it takes.

	If the main directory is already in the config file, you probably
don't need to specify it on the command line... And... could there be
something in the code where overriding the directory by command line
changes where it looks for the config file? (Just guessing at this
point).

It's only for experimenting with calendar software, so authorization is not 
a point.
So I forget about MySQL.

Possibly.
I tried this:
server.py -n -c config.ini
Once again, the server is up and running and when I am logging in with my 
browser (10.0.0.140:8081) I can see information showing up at the command 
prompt, showing somebody is logging is, but the same error: 
"fshandler:get_data: \Webdav not found". During starting up the server 
mentioned: "pywebdav:Serving data from \Webdav".

In the config file it says:
"# main directory
directory = \Webdav"

Perhaps my Python configuration is at fault.

Is the path supposed to be absolute? In which case you'd need to have:
directory=C:\path\to\Webdav

instead of just
directory=\Webdav

Is the path supposed to be absolute? In which case you'd need to have:
directory=C:\path\to\Webdav

instead of just
directory=\Webdav

I tried:
directory=D:\Webdav
directory=D:/Webdav

To no avail.
It didn.t make any difference.

I surely believe my WebDAV installation is at fault.

Interestingly, looking at the code that returns the
"fshandler:get_data: \Webdav not found" message, it looks like it
tests that the path given exists and then tries an os.path.isfile,
then an os.path.isdir. If both fail you get the message that you see.
This might be a bit of a shot in the dark but could you try the path
with and without a trailing '/' or '\'? I don't currently have a
windows box available to test on and figure out why it would be
detected as existing but not test true for either a file or directory.

Hi Becky,

I tried it straight away:
directory=D:\Webdav\
directory=D:/Webdav/

Didn't work, in both cases the same error "fshandler:get_data: \Webdav not 
found".

I have the opinion that my WebDAV installation is at fault. The database is 
not created either.
To have set up Python, I used python-2.7.2.msi.
To install WebDAV, I used PyWebDAV-0.9.4.1 and PyXML-0.8.4 packages, both 
Unix/Linux.
To install the, I used
"

Shall I reīnstall the whole lot? Would it make a difference if in that case 
I would use ActivePython-2.7.2.5-win32-x86.msi instead of python-2.7.2.msi?

You could try that but I'd imagine you'll end up with the same issue.
My best guess is that something is preventing os.path.isdir from
detecting the path as a directory under windows. I can't reproduce it
on my Linux system but may have a working windows installation later.
If I were you I'd fire up a python shell (execute python and get the
>>> prompt), import os.path and manually try os.path.isdir(path_name)
to try and find out what the actualy problem is.

I'm not familiar with Python, but I entered "import os.path " (nothing 
happened) and "os.path.isdir(path_name)
" in the shell. I guess what I did was not correct.
Underneath I copied what showed up in the shell.

Thanks, this is clear.

This is my Python shell:

Python 2.7.2 (default, Jun 12 2011, 15:08:59) [MSC v.1500 32 bit (Intel)] on 
win32
Type "copyright", "credits" or "license()" for more information.
>>> import os.path
>>> os.path.isdir("d:\webdav")
True
>>>

So Python recognizes the directory d:\webdav

This is the command shell:

D:\Python27\WebDAV\PyWebDAV\DAVServer>server.py -n -c config.ini

INFO:pywebdav:Starting up PyWebDAV server <version 0.9.4-dev>

(here I try to login the WebDAV server with the local IE browser)

So - I'm a bit lost now. Thinking seriously that my webdav installation is 
at fault.

	At this point my best suggestion is to study the source code of
fshandler to see what it is doing at this moment in time (offhand, is
there any content IN the directory to be "served"?)

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.

How are you trying to access the webdav server? I've been hacking on
the server for several days now (unrelated reasons) and have found
that it's a little unforgiving when it comes to configuration errors.
You need to be accessing the webdav server via the correct port (I
think it's 8008 by default). If you're not doing this and something
else is running on port 80 (which is where a webdav client will go to
by default) then this would explain the 404 errors.

By IE 8 and Firefox, on the same system as well as on another system. 
Firefox doesn't show the 404 error but shows a blank screen.
I bound the davserver to the local adress of the system where it's on 
(10.0.0.140).
The port was 8081 but I changed it to 8008 as you said it's the default. No 
difference.

I certainly use the correct IP address and port number.

Underneath is my command shell.
The 1st time I specified the config file (davserver.ini), the 2nd time I 
specified on the command line.
Here I logged in with Firefox from system XXX (replaced the name by XXX).

From the log it looks like you are trying to access the server with the
url:

http://localhost:8008/ or something similar. 

This won't work as you would try to access the root of your webdav
directory in this way (i.e. D:/webdav). The webdav server can only serve
files, not directories, so you would have to access
http://localhost:8008/somefile.txt where somefile.txt is a file in
D:/webdav.

This only applies to acces using a browser. If you access the server
through a webdav-aware client (for example the Finder on Mac OS X, or
probably the Windows Explorer) it can serve the contents of the directory.

Yes, I do.

OK, thanks. I am not familiar to WebDAV.
I tried. Got something different (at least something happened):
"Setuptools version 0.6c9 or greater has been installed.
(Run "ez_setup.py -U setuptools" to reinstall or upgrade.)"

Wasn't able to find ez_setup.py yet.

Thanks. I am just trying to use a calendar with a webdav server. I don't 
have any experience with that.
Simply using my browser to try it out.

Google for it and install.

But I don't understand. You already had WebDav installed, so why do you
need ez_setup.py?

Did you try the calendar with the WebDav server running?
Dit you put a file in D:\webdav and try to get it with the browser?

I did.

Well, that was my mistake. I entered in the browser 
http://10.0.0.140:8081/a.txt (one of the textfiles in the directory 
d:\webdav on the server) and got the message:
"Setuptools version 0.6c9 or greater has been installed.
(Run "ez_setup.py -U setuptools" to reinstall or upgrade.)"

At first I thought this came from the webdav server. That's why I searched 
for the ez_setup.py script. Once it was there, I ran it.
It took me some time before I realized it was the actual content of the 
document a.txt on the webdav server what I saw. So it worked! Different that 
I expected, but it works.

Not yet. The next step is the calendar.

Yes, and that worked! I am able to see the contents of text files.
In my unfamiliarity with WebDAV I expected to open the directory and see the 
files in there.

Many thanks for your help.

Hi Fokke,

Disclaimer: I have no experience with the Python WebDAV package you're
using.

But a thought:

> In the config file it says:
> "# main directory
> directory = \Webdav"

Perhaps you should qualify your directory path with a drive letter?

I would try this 2 ways:

directory = E:\Webdav

And if that doesn't work:

directory = E:/Webdav

My thinking about the 2nd example is that perhaps the \W is getting
interpreted as a control character vs. "backslash" "W".
