Hi all,
I am completely new to Python, but I'm confronted with a problem I can't
solve.
Welcome to python.
This is my question:
[snip]
I installed Python 3.2.1 and extracted the packages PyWebDAV and PyXML.
Now
I have a working Python app and 2 directories called PyWebDAV-0.9.4.1 and
PyXML-0.8.4. In the PyWebDAV README it says:
Installation and setup of server can be as easy as follows:
$ easy_install PyWebDAV
$ davserver -D /tmp -n -J
But of course it doesn't work like that. When I start up Python GUI I see
the ">>>" prompt instead of the "$" prompt. But where do I place the two
directories? And there is no easy_install script in the PyXML-0.8.4
directory, only a setup.py and ez_setup.py script. I guess the latter is
the
one to use. But how?
You dont install from "Python GUI", use normal cmd, navigate to the folder
you downloaded PyXML and PyWebDAV and run "python setup.py install"
(python.exe has to be in your PATH). Then you have to find the
startup-script "davserver". Find your python installation directory and
look into<Install dir>/Tools/Scripts, in my computer this is
E:\python27\Tools\Scripts. PyXML and PyWebDAV get installed in the
site-packages folder i.e. E:\python27\Lib/site-packages. You might have to
look for "davserver" there...
Thanks, Paul.
I ran "python setup.py install" in both the PyXML and PyWebDAV directories.
A lot of things happened and are added into those directories and I guess it
will be OK.
Next step, the startup-script "davserver". There is no script as such, also
not in \python27\tools\scripts.
I found 2 similar scripts:
1. server.py in D:\Python27\WebDAV\PyWebDAV\DAVServer
2. WebDAVServer.py in D:\Python27\WebDAV\PyWebDAV\DAV
Which one is the one to use?
Your install locations look odd, but it might work nevertheless. The
server is in DAVServer\server.py, you can look at the file and you will see:
if __name__ == '__main__':
run()
at the bottom. This is the "entry point" of a python script if called
from the command line.
My install looks a bit different but I can start the server as follows:
python.exe
E:\Python27\Lib\site-packages\pywebdav-0.9.4.1-py2.7.egg\DAVServer\server.py
-D c:\home -n
WARNING:pywebdav:Authentication disabled!
Listening on localhost (8008)
I also configured config.ini in D:\Python27\WebDAV\PyWebDAV\DAVServer
I would use a config file outside the program directory and use the -c
or --config switch, run server.py without arguments to see possible
startup options.
In this file it says:
"# Auth Database Table, Must exists in database prior to firstrun
dbtable=webDav
# Create User Database Table and Insert system user"
I created in MySQL a database called webDav.
I can create a table called User, but how many fields?
Don't know if that's documented somewhere but you can just look at the
code in mysqlauth.py in the same directory as server.py. Seems it needs
three columns, (User<string>,Pass<string>,can_write<0|1>) but I haven't
tried.
cheers
Paul
