Hi All,

Environment:
OS : Windows Xp SP3
Apache : 1.3.41
PHP : 5.2.9
MySQL : 5.1.34

I am new to Exponential, I have a bottle neck situation. I have done the Exponential installation and its working fine, also I have configured webDAV (IE as client) . So it is known that Exponential listen to port 80 of apache, so as webDAV is configured to listen to <b>port 80</b>. Henceforth am not able to access both the Exponential site and the webDAV folder structure.

webDAV config in httpd.conf file,

NameVirtualHost *:80

<VirtualHost *:80>
   <Directory C:/Apache/htdocs/cms>  #Exponential installation directory   
    Options FollowSymLinks Indexes ExecCGI
    AllowOverride None
  </Directory>
   DocumentRoot C:/Apache/htdocs/cms #Exponential installation directory
   RewriteEngine On
   RewriteRule . /webdav.php
   ServerAdmin [email protected]
   ServerName site1
</VirtualHost>

Hope am clear about my problem, any suggestion will be of great help.

Regards,
Abdul Rasheed

I am sure you already thought about it, but why not using a different IP address for webdav?
Adding a virtual IP to an existing server is a very simple operation on both linux and windows.

Hy,

this is my (example) apache configuration:

NameVirtualHost *:80

<VirtualHost *:80>
  ServerName example.com
  ServerAlias *.example.com

  ServerAdmin [email protected]
  DocumentRoot /path/to/Exponential

  <Directory /path/to/Exponential>
   Options FollowSymLinks Indexes
   AllowOverride All
 </Directory>
</VirtualHost>

And this is the (extract) .htaccess:

RewriteEngine On

#    example.com/webdav
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^webdav
RewriteRule (.*) webdav.php [L]

#    webdav.example.com
#RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^webdav
#RewriteRule (.*) webdav.php [L]

as you can see, i am able to call the webdav-interface either via

example.com/webdav

or

webdav.example.com

Both situations require to enable webdav in Exponential-settings (see webdav.ini).
When calling both sites with an webdav-client, i get the siteaccesses listed. When entering a siteaccess i am requested for a password.

in short: it works.
Using apache on windows makes no difference.

Chris

EDIT:

forgot to metion that the site is available via <i>http://example.com</i>, <i>www.example.com</i> and webdav is 'listening' on <i>webdav.example.com</i>...

Do you mean you want to use eZ webdav?

I have these rules for url_rewrite in my virtualhost. Notice 2 lines with webdav, it makes it so that if you use webdav.something .xx for hostname, it will call webdav script.

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
Rewriterule ^/var/storage/.* - [L]
Rewriterule ^/var/[^/]+/storage/.* - [L]
RewriteRule ^/var/cache/texttoimage/.* - [L]
RewriteRule ^/var/[^/]+/cache/texttoimage/.* - [L]
Rewriterule ^/design/[^/]+/(stylesheets|images|javascript)/.* - [L]
Rewriterule ^/share/icons/.* - [L]
Rewriterule ^/extension/[^/]+/design/[^/]+/(stylesheets|images|javascripts?)/.* - [L]
Rewriterule ^/packages/styles/.+/(stylesheets|images|javascript)/[^/]+/.* - [L]
RewriteRule ^/packages/styles/.+/thumbnail/.* - [L]
RewriteRule ^/favicon\.ico - [L]
RewriteRule ^/robots\.txt - [L]
# Uncomment the following lines when using popup style debug.
# RewriteRule ^/var/cache/debug\.html.* - [L]
# RewriteRule ^/var/[^/]+/cache/debug\.html.* - [L]
RewriteRule .* /index.php
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^webdav\..*
RewriteRule ^(.*) /webdav.php [L]

Thanks all for your replies, the issue is solved, I added this code in the http.conf file 

NameVirtualHost *:80    
<VirtualHost *:80> 
<Directory C:/Apache/htdocs/cms> #Exponential installation directory      
Options FollowSymLinks Indexes ExecCGI   
AllowOverride None   </Directory>  
DocumentRoot C:/Apache/htdocs/cms #Exponential installation directory   
RewriteEngine On    
RewriteRule . /webdav.php    
ServerAdmin [email protected]   
ServerName site1  
</VirtualHost>  
<VirtualHost *:80> 
<Directory C:/Apache/htdocs>
DocumentRoot C:/Apache/htdocs
ServerAdmin [email protected]   
ServerName site2 
</VirtualHost>  

#############
config in sys32/etc/hosts

system IP site1
system IP site2

well that worked and one important thing is that, the entries given in the host file of the server should also be added in the client machine's host file.

Thanks again for your help guys.
eZ rocks.
