Mac OS X Server v10.6 Snow Leopard - Webdav setup?

Could someone give me a run-through on what is needed to set up webdav or a link to same? On this server, I've got groups with shared folders, and users who can access at least one group each. I'd like to be able to have the users get web access to these same folders.

Thanks, Ian

Anyone? Anywhere I should be looking for this? What's next after turning on the dav module? How do you connect the shared folders to the dav service and make sure they are only accessible by those same groups that can access them over AFP?

I should add that the DNS is working correctly.

Thanks again, Ian

Does the stuff starting at page 52 (and starting around page 39, for authentication and realms) in the [Mac OS X Server Web Services Manual|http://images.apple.com/server/macosx/docs/WebTech_Adminv10.6.pdf] help?

Yes, thank you. I had not run across that manual yet and it seems to have some fairly useful information. I'll likely have other questions, but that should get me most of the way there.

Thanks!

Did you ever get this working? As I read the manuals, AFP permissions are separate from WebDAV permissions, which are set in the 'realms' pane of the Web admin area. Myself and many others have been searching for a solution to your question.

More words around the commands used, errors seen, tools involved, etc, please?

Why do I ask for that? This stuff works as expected here.

Here's what I did to get connected with a test server. First, get Apache going and enable WebDAV, both via Server Admin. Then (on the client) select Go > Connect To Server in Finder, and specify the WebDAV server via http or https as the target. The wheels spin for a bit as the connections are made, and Bob's Your Uncle.

I'm going to presume you have DNS going, but (if not) start there.
