I have the same problem I think, Alfresco Community 4.2c on Debian Squeeze.  Can't rename or move files or directories on alfresco's webdav share as admin user.  Tried with both OS X native client and Cadaver.  I can create, modify, and delete the files without any error.

And I might add, Webdav protocol support for the content store is a marvelous feature!

Alfresco log looks basically identical.

[rushingbee]

I'm on a deadline here so I've got to start hacking away at this.  I probably don't have the skill to fix it (i'm totally new to java and pretty green with coding in general)… but I need it working.

The problem may possibly be related to the bug fix implemented in 4.13?
https://issues.alfresco.com/jira/browse/ALF-16756

I will try to catch up and start hunting through these magic "beans" to figure out what it all "means".  In the meantime it would be awesome if someone who's been on this project a while could look into this or at least give me somewhere to look.  TY!

How to reproduce:
Manually install sun java 7 and Alfresco 4.2c on Debian Squeeze.
Add content to content store as admin user.
Connect to webdav as admin user.
Rename or move a folder.

[rushingbee]

My problem was actually related to this bug here.  https://issues.alfresco.com/jira/browse/ALF-736
There's a workaround at the end of the thread at apple support (i would have included a link, but the smiley parser breaks it.  Is there any way to turn that off?)
More diagnostic information:
http alfresco webdav port 8080 on OS X – Renaming Works
https apache mod_dav port 443 on OS X – Renaming Works (connection requires manual SSL cert trust)
https alfresco webdav port 8443 on KDE/Dolphin – Renaming Works
https alfresco webdav port 8443 on OS X – Renaming fails

There's probably something analogous that will work for Tomcat without proxying through Apache, but since we're using an Apache proxy I just added this to the virtualhost conf:

BrowserMatch "^WebDAVFS/*" redirect-carefully‍

OS X plays nice now.

[ioudas]

I have this problem with 5.0.b and still cant get this to work with the browser match. Clients are using windows 7.

[mathias_lin]

Still having the issue with Alfresco CE 5.0.d, but only on Windows 2012 RC server, while it works fine on my Windows 8.1 localhost.
See my SuperUser post here: http://superuser.com/questions/970946/renaming-a-file-on-mapped-webdav-drive-does-not-work-with-wind...

<strong>Update:</strong> I found out that it was related to the reverse proxy (Apache httpd) in front of the Tomcat.
