Q: How do I set up WebDAV on the server?
I have a MacMini with Lion Server. I am trying to set up WebDAV to work with my iPad. Is there anywhere I can find a detailed description or manual to do this? I have the user set up correctly and the server is .local. I keep getting "server not found" every time. It appears I am not setting up the server name correctly or not typing it correctly. I selected the "private" setting but I am keeping it local for now without turning on VPN.
Mac Mini with Lion Server, Mac OS X (10.7), 4GB Mem, 320GB Drive

I had just a bit of time to explore this while I was rebuilding another server.....
In addition, you should be able to see the share you got configured for webdav in the config files in /etc/apache2/httpd_webdavsharing_sharepoints.conf. I wouldn't mess with this unless you know exactly what you're doing.
For a dropbox.. or another type of shared folder the format is http://myserver.com/webdav/short_user_name/sharedfile. Make sure you have permissions set in both file sharing and on the share itself.
Seems to work great with the exception of an admin user account. I can create a new account for me and it works fine, but if I use my admin account... no go.
