  "Doctor, my arm hurts when I move it." – "Don't move it, then."

The Python shell executes Python code.  The above obviously is not Python 
code, but *system* shell commands.  So let the *system* command shell 
execute them (as indicated by the `$' prompt, which is customary for a
sh-based UNIX/Linux shell prompt).  

Since you use Windows XP, type `cmd' to get the command shell (if you knew 
MS-DOS, which I doubt, you are at home now).  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.

> But where do I place the two directories?

You do not; let easy_install place them in the correct packages directory 
(hence *easy* *install*).  That is very likely what the setup.py and 
ez_setup.py scripts are for (spell "ez" in English).

Look for the Windows version.  If there is none, get easy_install and use it 
as described.

I know. I worked with SCO Unix and various sorts of Linux.
But never with Python, so I hadn't got a clue about the prompt.

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.

ACK.  Admittedly I cannot remember having used Python on Windows (XP) except 
via Cygwin.

Do not run `python' or the "Python GUI", then.

Come on, with that experience you see a `$' and those commands and don't 
realize it is (ba)sh?

That of the server, on Windows-related information.  Or that of 
easy_install.  Or Python.  Whichever comes first.

Ofcourse I realized it was Unix/Linux. I already could tell that as the 
packages I downloaded were tar.gz files.
So I unpacked them and expected to run a Python installer script from the 
Python command line.
Hence my question "How do I do that", but perhaps I did not make myself 
clear enough.

Tried to run the Python installer script from the DOS command line but that 
resulted in an error.

As I have Cygwin running as well, I could try to install it there instead of 
in Windows.

What do you mean by STFW?

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.
Otherwise I'll give it a try under Cygwin.

 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?

It's my own server and I didn't write a manual for 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. That's why I posted my 
question here.

 How do I proceed next?

I did and it worked. What's next?

What do you mean by STFW?

Search The Fucking 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.

Then it's installed!

But, once again, don't know how to proceed.
Is that so hard? I have never used pywebdav but the first page I hit 
through Google search is:


http://code.google.com/p/pywebdav/

Where it says:


Installation and setup of server can be as easy as follows:

$ easy_installPyWebDAV
$ davserver-D/tmp-n-J
Starting  upPyWebDAV  server(version0.9.2-dev)
>>  ATTENTION:  Authentication  disabled!
>>  Serving  datafrom  /tmp
>>  Listening  on localhost(8008)
So you successfully ran easy_install. Then I guess you will have to look 
for a program named "davserver" and start it up. I suspect that 
searching for  "davserver.*" under your site-packages dir or Python 
installation dir will do.

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?

I also configured config.ini in D:\Python27\WebDAV\PyWebDAV\DAVServer

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?

Not really... The "easy_install" command is the same on windows. Maybe 
the command prompt is different, but the command itself is the same. 
Same is true with the "davserver" command. If you can find a 
"davserver.exe" or "davserver.py" or "davserver.pyw" file under 
site-packages or tools/scripts, then that will be the program that you 
need to start up. No magic.

Actually, I installed easy_install setuptools for Windows 
(setuptools-0.6c11.win32-py2.7.exe). Running easy_install generated an error 
message:
"Setuptools version 0.6c9 or greater has been installed.
(Run "ez_setup.py -U setuptools" to reinstall or upgrade.)"

I did, quite something happened but the same error message came back when 
retrying.

So, I installed it another way, indicated by Paul Kölle:
"navigate to the folder you downloaded PyXML and PyWebDAV and run "python 
setup.py
install" (python.exe has to be in your PATH). "

That worked fine, but:

There is no davserver script or executable. Please read my response to Paul 
Kölle.

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,Pass,can_write<0|1>) but I haven't 
tried.

It didn't create the table. The database kept empty.

I left host and port as they were. The main directory is e:\wwwroot

I started the server with server.py (in
D:\Python27\WebDAV\PyWebDAV\DAVServer) -D e:/wwwroot -m -c config.ini

The seems to work as I get a login screen in the browser.

Later on I changed the ini file:

# disable auth
noauth = 1

# Enable mysql auth
mysql_auth=0

No login screen anymore but I got an error message "fshandler:get_data: 
e:\wwwroot not found"

 This is my question:

 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?

Yes, it was server.py.

I have understood that the database will be configured with the first run, 
but in my case it didn't.

In my congig.ini there was
# Create User Database Table and Insert system user
# Disable after the Table is created; for performance reasons
firstrun=1

Sorry - I didn't come back on your question. In the mean time I forgot what 
the error message was.
But I installed it the way Paul Kölle mentioned:

"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)."

It's only for experimenting with calendar software, so authorization is not

Possibly.
I tried this:
server.py -n -c config.ini
Once again, the server is up and running and when I am logging in with my 
browser (10.0.0.140:8081) I can see information showing up at the command 
prompt, showing somebody is logging is, but the same error: 
"fshandler:get_data: \Webdav not found". During starting up the server 
mentioned: "pywebdav:Serving data from \Webdav".

In the config file it says:
"# main directory
directory = \Webdav"

Perhaps my Python configuration is at fault.

Is the path supposed to be absolute? In which case you'd need to have:
directory=C:\path\to\Webdav

instead of just
directory=\Webdav

Hi Fokke,

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

But a thought:

> In the config file it says:
> "# main directory
> directory = \Webdav"

Perhaps you should qualify your directory path with a drive letter?

I would try this 2 ways:

directory = E:\Webdav

And if that doesn't work:

directory = E:/Webdav

My thinking about the 2nd example is that perhaps the \W is getting
interpreted as a control character vs. "backslash" "W".

Sorry!
It used to have.
But as it did not work, with the same error message, it could not find 
E:\wwwroot, I changed it into \Webdav.
Ofcourse, in the command line as well. Later on I left the D specification 
out in the command line.
Perhaps another drive letter might cause the problem, so in this case I kept 
it on the same partition. But I still got the same error.

I tried:

directory=D:/Webdav

To no avail.
It didn't make any difference.

I surely believe my WebDAV installation is at fault.

And D: is the same partition as where Python is, D:\Python27

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.

"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.

Either you are lying, or you are really forgetful, or you are simply not

Interestingly, looking at the code that returns the
"fshandler:get_data: \Webdav not found" message, it looks like it
tests that the path given exists and then tries an os.path.isfile,
then an os.path.isdir. 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

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?

You could try that but I'd imagine you'll end up with the same issue.
My best guess is that something is preventing os.path.isdir from
detecting the path as a directory under windows. I can't reproduce it
on my Linux system but may have a working windows installation later.
If I were you I'd fire up a python shell (execute python and get the
>>> prompt), import os.path and manually try os.path.isdir(path_name)
to try and find out what the actualy problem is.

I'm not familiar with Python, but I entered "import os.path " (nothing 
happened) and "os.path.isdir(path_name)
" in the shell. I guess what I did was not correct.
Underneath I copied what showed up in the shell.

Thanks, this is clear.

This is my Python shell:

Python 2.7.2 (default, Jun 12 2011, 15:08:59) [MSC v.1500 32 bit (Intel)] on 
win32
Type "copyright", "credits" or "license()" for more information.
>>> import os.path
>>> os.path.isdir("d:\webdav")
True
>>>

So Python recognizes the directory d:\webdav

This is the command shell:

D:\Python27\WebDAV\PyWebDAV\DAVServer>server.py -n -c config.ini

INFO:pywebdav:Starting up PyWebDAV server 
INFO:pywebdav:chunked_http_response feature ON

(here I try to login the WebDAV server with the local IE browser)

So - I'm a bit lost now. Thinking seriously that my webdav installation is 
at fault.

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.

How are you trying to access the webdav server? I've been hacking on
the server for several days now (unrelated reasons) and have found
that it's a little unforgiving when it comes to configuration errors.
You need to be accessing the webdav server via the correct port (I
think it's 8008 by default). If you're not doing this and something
else is running on port 80 (which is where a webdav client will go to
by default) then this would explain the 404 errors.

By IE 8 and Firefox, on the same system as well as on another system. 
Firefox doesn't show the 404 error but shows a blank screen.
I bound the davserver to the local adress of the system where it's on 
(10.0.0.140).
The port was 8081 but I changed it to 8008 as you said it's the default. No 
difference.

I certainly use the correct IP address and port number.

Underneath is my command shell.
The 1st time I specified the config file (davserver.ini), the 2nd time I 
specified on the command line.
Here I logged in with Firefox from system XXX (replaced the name by XXX).

This won't work as you would try to access the root of your webdav
directory in this way (i.e. D:/webdav). The webdav server can only serve
files, not directories, so you would have to access
http://localhost:8008/somefile.txt where somefile.txt is a file in
D:/webdav.

This only applies to acces using a browser. If you access the server
through a webdav-aware client (for example the Finder on Mac OS X, or
probably the Windows Explorer) it can serve the contents of the directory.

OK, thanks. I am not familiar to WebDAV.
I tried. Got something different (at least something happened):
"Setuptools version 0.6c9 or greater has been installed.
(Run "ez_setup.py -U setuptools" to reinstall or upgrade.)"

Wasn't able to find ez_setup.py yet.

Thanks. I am just trying to use a calendar with a webdav server. I don't 
have any experience with that.
Simply using my browser to try it out.

Google for it and install.

But I don't understand. You already had WebDav installed, so why do you
need ez_setup.py?

Did you try the calendar with the WebDav server running?
Dit you put a file in D:\webdav and try to get it with the browser?

I did.

Well, that was my mistake. I entered in the browser 
http://10.0.0.140:8081/a.txt (one of the textfiles in the directory 
d:\webdav on the server) and got the message:
"Setuptools version 0.6c9 or greater has been installed.
(Run "ez_setup.py -U setuptools" to reinstall or upgrade.)"

At first I thought this came from the webdav server. That's why I searched 
for the ez_setup.py script. Once it was there, I ran it.
It took me some time before I realized it was the actual content of the 
document a.txt on the webdav server what I saw. So it worked! Different that 
I expected, but it works.

Not yet. The next step is the calendar.

Yes, and that worked! I am able to see the contents of text files.
In my unfamiliarity with WebDAV I expected to open the directory and see the 
files in there.

Many thanks for your help.

I have my webdav server up and running.

Many thanks for all who contributed to solving this problem.
