Webdav share on Linux

[daria]

Hi,

I try to setup a webdav share and I have trouble mostly on Linux and MAC client.

Host : Debian, Alfresco version 3.0

On Ubuntu : I can delete, rename create but I can't open files with OpenOffice. When I try to open a .doc file, it doesn't even open in read-only. I can open other type like .txt and save them.

On MAC : Almost same behavior as Ubuntu but instead opening a new file in OpenOffice, it open the file in read-only.

On Windows : Almost everything work fine. With Office Word it is fine, I can save no problem. With OpenOffice I can save files as well but every time I open a document, I am prompt to enter my password. Also, I can't read other type of files. I tried .txt and pdf. txt prompt a bad syntax error message, with pdf it says File not found.

Thanks

Your client programs need to understand webdav to open the files over it. MS Offices does and hence you can double click and open Word files. For Open Office to use webdav;

Tools > Option > General >

check "Use OpenOffice dialogs"

Thanks but it doesn't change anything. In Windows it works with or without this setting and in Linux, I forgot to mention it in my previous post but I get this error dialog : "General input/output error while accessing …", just before opening a blank file.

It works when I open the file directly by typing the http address on the file name. I guess it is a problem with Nautilus.
