Description Kurt Seifried 2014-12-21 22:51:10 UTC 
Description of problem:

In RHEL 6 this was in httpd.conf by default:

#
# WebDAV module configuration section.
#
<IfModule mod_dav_fs.c>
 # Location of the WEBDav lock database.
 DAVLockDB /var/lib/dav/lockdb
</IfModule>

this section is missing in RHEL 7 httpd.conf by default. Thus you get:

A lock database was not specified with the DAVLockDB directive. One must be specified to use the locking functionality.

in the httpd error log when you try to use WebDAV locking.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

httpd-2.4.6-18.el7

How reproducible:

Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. install httpd
2. enable WebDAV
3. try to us something that needs WebDAV locking, see error in httpd log files

Actual results:

WebDAV locking fails to work

Expected results:

WebDAV locking works by default (like it did in RHEL 6)

We should patch this upstream to make the default path hard-coded in mod_dav_fs, or at least a config-time option for that.

Ah sorry I thought this had already gone out in 7.1.x, my mistake. It's not letting me reopen it, grrr.
