Q: Can Only Connect to Lion Server WebDAV with admin account
-
Nov 18, 2011 9:00 AMby grweyer,I saw the same symptoms and found a solution that worked in my environment. The non-admin account was missing ~/Library/Logs (/Users/testuser/Library/Logs). Once I created that directory I was able to connect and observed several files appear in the Logs directory including a lock file and a pid file.

It didn't work unsecured and I wanted secured so when I made these changes it works great. I can get to my files on my phone and any other webdav client.

Check in the /var/webdav_sharing directory, there should be a set of directories named after the short names of the users that have connected by webdav. Inside those directories are the Logs directories. Then check the ownership of those directories. The ownership needs to match the names of the directories. There are several reasons that the directories might have incorrect ownership, but the fix is easy. If there are a few Logs directories with incorrect ownership, then just chown them to the correct owner, if on the other hand you have a large number, you could rename teh webdav_sharing directory as a previous copy, create a new webdav_sharing directory and then new connections by webdav users should create correct ownership directories and Logs directories inside of them. Keep the previous copy around a while to make sure that nothing is needed from it.
