The default /etc/apache2/conf/modules.d/45_mod_dav.conf file includes the directive: # Location of the WebDAV lock database. DavLockDB /var/lib/dav/lockdb However, the folder /var/lib/dav does not exist after "emerge apache" so enabling -D DAV in /etc/conf.d/apache2 gives errors when trying to do WebDAV locking (writing files, etc...) Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.emerge apache (I used 2.0.52-r1) 2.edit /etc/conf.d/apache2 to enable WebDAV ( "-D DAV -D DAV_FS" ) 3.attempt to upload (PUT) a file. Actual Results: in apache error log: [Tue May 10 14:00:24 2005] [error] [client 192.168.0.42] The locks could not be queried for verification against a possible "If:" header.
