Bug 29329 – /etc/apache2/conf/modules.d/45_mod_dav.conf does not work properly, does not load mod_dav_fs

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Behrang Gilanpour 2003-09-22 06:23:19 UTC]

Apache 2.0.47

I've added "-D DAV" to /etc/conf.d/apache2 and when I add a <Location> 
with "Dav On" the error "Unknown DAV provider: filesystem" occurs. When 
checking server-info mod_dav is loaded but mod_dav_fs is not. If 
the "LoadModule dav_fs_module" line is added under the "LoadModule dav_module" 
both modules load without any errors and "Dav On" will not 
cause "/etc/init.d/apache2 start" to stop.

Other users have also experianced the same problem.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.emerge apache2
2.Add "-D DAV" to /etc/conf.d/apache2
3.Add <Location /dav> Dav On </Location> to commonapache2.conf
4.Run /etc/init.d/apache2 start
Actual Results:  
Webserver startup will be halted with the error message:
 Unknown DAV provider: filesystem

Expected Results:  
webserver to start with the folder /dav enabled.

Adding "-D DAV_FS" to /etc/conf.d/apache2 solves this problem.

So the bug may be in the comments in /etc/conf.d/apache2 rather than /etc/apache2/conf/modules.d/45_mod_dav.conf.

I've updated apache2.confd, will appear on CVS later this evening.
