Question
setup webdav with nginx on Ubuntu 12.04
I'm trying to setup webdav access on my Ghost droplet; I've read all the information I can find, and done the following:
1. installed nginx-extras
2. created a separate directory for dav in /var/www/dav/, and set permissions to www-data
3. added a new server directive to the nginx config; it looks like this:
server {
listen 80;
server_name site.com www.site.com;
client_max_body_size 10M;
location / {
proxy_pass http://localhost:2368/;
proxy_set_header Host $host;
proxy_buffering off;
}
}
server {
listen 8080;
server_name site.com;
client_max_body_size 20M;
location / {
dav_methods PUT DELETE MKCOL COPY MOVE;
dav_ext_methods PROPFIND OPTIONS;
dav_access group:rw all:r;
root /var/www/dav/;
auth_basic "Restricted";
auth_basic_user_file /var/www/dav/.htpasswd;
}
}
4. setup basic http auth with htpasswd
I've checked this setup from a console on the droplet, using cadaver; the authentication works, and a test upload worked.
But trying to connect from my mac (using Cyberduck, Firefox, mount_webdav) all fail. Can anyone help? What am I doing wrong?
