From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:0.9.7) Gecko/20011229 Description of problem: mod_dav provides no default location for DAVLockDB. Also, no DAVLockDB line is included in the Apache configuration file. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Install Apache 2.Install mod_dav 3.Configure DAV access for a directory ("DAV on" directive) 4.Attempt to modify a file via DAV Actual Results: From httpd/error_log [Sat May 4 11:59:35 2002] [error] [client 127.0.0.1] Could not LOCK /index.html due to a failed precondition (e.g. other locks). [500, #0] Expected Results: Success Additional info: There may need to be a bug report opened for Apache as well, since based on how RH is managing httpd.conf, it seems that something like: <IfDefine HAVE_DAV> DAVLockDB /var/lib/mod_dav/DAVLock </IfDefine> would be in order.
Thanks for the report. This has been fixed for a while, starting in 8.0 I think.
