WebDAV and Linux Issue

[sburkart]

Unable to connect using WebDAV.

Hopefully this is an easy solution.  I have had no issues with windows desktops in our company but a few of us use linux and would like to be able to use webdav.  Since I am migrating us from sharepoint, this sure would speed things up for me.

I'm using Ubuntu 9.04 and select Connect to Server.  Select WebDAV (HTTP) and enter our internal IP.  192.168.1.63 and port 8080.  The folder is alfresco/webdav.  If I put the user name in at this point, I get an HTTP Error:  "Unauthorized" message after putting in the password during the next step.  If I leave the user name blank and continue, I'm presented with a box to enter both and get a "Not a WebDAV enabled share" but the folder is showing as mounted.

If I go to the webdav in a browser it works just fine (but of course cannot upload files this way).  Any tips to what I might be doing or not doing?

Thanks.

Hi,
I have the same problem with Ubuntu 9.04. It has been working with previous versions of ubuntu connecting to our production server, so I think this is an Ubuntu bug.
Maybe this
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gvfs/+bug/372095
Or something I've broken on my machine. My colleagues can access our production server (3.1 enterprise) using webdav. Many flavors of Linux and version at our shop, haven't really looked into this.

Really not helped you yet, but can you try another version of Ubuntu and see if that helps?

Good call.  I installed Debian 5.0.3 on a spare machine and was able to connect just fine.  Maybe the 9.10 release will fix this issue.

Thanks again for pointing me to the correct conclusion.  I have 3 9.04 boxes here all exhibiting the same behaviour and didn't think the issue was with the OS.

As a follow-up, Ubuntu 9.10 fixed this issue.
