apache misconfiguration for webdav

[Luca Villani]

Hi all.


First, I'm afraid my english is very poor, I'm sorry... :-(


I'm running a zfos installation on a fedora core 2.

This server also serve some directory via webdav (manually configured 
in /kolab/etc/kolab/httpd.conf.template), but all my users are not able to 
rename a file.

Google is my friend, I found an explanation: webdav can't work properly in 
renaming files/directory if apache is not configured with an appropriate 
ServerName directive, both in plain and ssl virtualhosts configuration, it 
simply respond with a 502 (Bad Gateway) error code.

A simple explanation can be find on

 http://www.litux.org/wiki/WebDav

Resolving this problem was easy: I simply put two correct ServerName 
directives in httpd.conf.template, both for plain and ssl sections.

Hope this help...
