Can't connect to ownCloud through davfs2 or Nautilus
I recently installed an ownCloud one-click application on a $10/mo droplet. When I try to access my owncloud files with the browser client, or with an Android client (cirrus), everything seems to work fine. I see two folders, Documents and Photos. But when I use Nautilus (davs://myowncloud/remote.php/dav) or mount the owncloud storage with davfs2, I see 7 folders: addressbooks, calendars, comments, files, etc. files/ is completely empty with davfs, and when I try to open it in Nautilus, I get an error “This location could not be displayed” and “Sorry, could not display all the contents of “files”: HTTP Error: Method Not Allowed”.
So I checked the apache access logs:

It looks like most PROPFIND requests to URIs ending in a slash are returning 405 Method Not Allowed, except certain top-level directories like prinicipals/. All equivalent PROPRFINDs to non-slash URIs result in 207 Multi-Status, which I’m assuming is the expected response.
Any ideas what’s going on here?

you may want to take a look at http://serverfault.com/questions/206052/how-do-i-enable-http-dav-in-apache . I haven’t worked with the ownCloud one-click install, but the URL link seems to have the same exact symptoms as your access log snippet.
This solution did not work for me. I don’t have an httpd.conf, and apache2.conf and owncloud.conf don’t have the problem referenced in the solution.
