Re: Installing WebDAV server
Fokke Nauta fnaut...@spamsolfon.nl wrote in message news:9c4trjfcf...@mid.individual.net... Hi all, I am completely new to Python, but I'm confronted with a problem I can't solve. This is my question: I'm running a PC with XP Pro32, which acts as a file server/print server/FTP server and web server. The web server is facilitated by the Aprelium Abyss X2 server, and has Perl and PHP support on http and https. It all works fine. To do some research with some calender systems and to share the Outlook calendar I need a WebDAV server. After googling I found the Python WebDAV server. 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? How do I proceed next? Any help will be appreciated. Thanks in advance. With regards, Fokke Nauta I have my webdav server up and running. Many thanks for all who contributed to solving this problem.

At this point my best suggestion is to study the source code of
fshandler to see what it is doing at this moment in time (offhand, is
there any content IN the directory to be served?)
There is a file indeed, in d:\Webdav

That almost looks like something is trying to retrieve a default
page for 404 (not found) page.
To save you some time:

if os.path.exists(path):
if os.path.isfile(path):
file_size = os.path.getsize(path)
if range == None:
## REST SNIPPED
else:
# also raise an error for collections
# don't know what should happen then..
log.info('get_data: %s not found' % path)
I have seen this part. Do I need to alter it?
Note that at this point in the system, it is looking for a FILE, not
a directory.

I have re-installed Python and the setuptool, and tried the Python version
of Active, but it did not make a difference.
So now I use the old Python 2.7 again. Used easy_install to install
PyWebDAV. I now run davserver.exe from the Script directory. Still the same
problem.
What I found, however, was that if I specify the directory from the command
line (like davserver -D d:\Webdav -n) there is no error message as
INFO:fshandler :get_data: D:\Webdav not found. The browser shows still the
404 error.
The error INFO:fshandler :get_data: D:\Webdav not found only occurs when I
specify the -c config.ini in the command line.
I didn't expect it to be this so tricky. It looked easy to set up an
experimental webdav server.

If both fail you get the message that you see. This might be a bit of a shot in the dark but could you try the path with and without a trailing '/' or '\'? I don't currently have a windows box available to test on and figure out why it would be detected as existing but not test true for either a file or directory. Hi Becky, I tried it straight away: directory=D:\Webdav\ directory=D:/Webdav/ Didn't work, in both cases the same error fshandler:get_data: \Webdav not found. I have the opinion that my WebDAV installation is at fault. The database is not created either. To have set up Python, I used python-2.7.2.msi. To install WebDAV, I used PyWebDAV-0.9.4.1 and PyXML-0.8.4 packages, both Unix/Linux. To install the, I used 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 intoInstall 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... Shall I reïnstall the whole lot? Would it make a difference if in that case I would use ActivePython-2.7.2.5-win32-x86.msi instead of python-2.7.2.msi? Fokke -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

Again, given all that experience you claim to have, how come it did not occur to you that the `$' was meant to be a *command* *shell* prompt? Other OSes have command shells, too, you know; they are just named and run differently. Tried to run the Python installer script from the DOS command line but that resulted in an error. There was an error is no error report at all. However, you appear to have found the *UNIX/Linux* README (and the corresponding version?) of that server: the second command is usually how you would run a program as daemon on Unices (run through an init script), while on Windows NT (like XP) you would have a setup program install a service for you (maybe to execute that command when the service is started). Look for the Windows version. There is no other Windows version except the packages I mentioned, PyWebDAV and PyXML. The only Windows thing I got was the Python interpreter itself. Has it not occurred to you to STFW for easy_install first? What do you mean by STFW? Search The Fing Web. I wasn't aware that easy_install was a utility. Downloaded and installed the Windows version and run easy_install pywebdav. It downloaded something, installed something and finished something. But, once again, don't know how to proceed. RTFM. 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? RTFM. Which fucking manual? That of the server, on Windows-related information. Or that of easy_install. Or Python. Whichever comes first. It's my own server and I didn't write a manual for it. No, the people providing it for you obviously did, but you do not seem to care to read it. In the manual of Easy_install it says how to install packaged etc and I did sucessfully. There is no furter information as how to proceed. Either you are lying, or you are really forgetful, or you are simply not smart enough for this. You yourself told me/us before what the next step is: How do I proceed next? Look for the Windows version. If there is none, get easy_install and use it as described. I did and it worked.

Hi Fokke, Disclaimer: I have no experience with the Python WebDAV package you're using.

Installing WebDAV server
Hi all, I am completely new to Python, but I'm confronted with a problem I can't solve. This is my question: I'm running a PC with XP Pro32, which acts as a file server/print server/FTP server and web server. The web server is facilitated by the Aprelium Abyss X2 server, and has Perl and PHP support on http and https. It all works fine. To do some research with some calender systems and to share the Outlook calendar I need a WebDAV server. After googling I found the Python WebDAV server. 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? How do I proceed next? Any help will be appreciated. Thanks in advance. With regards, Fokke Nauta -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
