Available Languages: en

Description: | filesystem provider for `mod_dav`
Status: | Extension
Module Identifier: | dav_fs_module
Source File: | mod_dav_fs.c

## Summary

This module requires the service of `mod_dav`. It acts as a support module for `mod_dav` and provides access to resources located in the server's file system. The formal name of this provider is `filesystem`. `mod_dav` backend providers will be invoked by using the `Dav` directive:

### Example

`Dav filesystem`

Since `filesystem` is the default provider for `mod_dav`, you may simply use the value `On` instead.

### Directives

### See also

- `mod_dav`

## DavLockDB Directive

Description: | Location of the DAV lock database
Syntax: | `DavLockDB file-path`
Context: | server config, virtual host
Status: | Extension
Module: | mod_dav_fs

Use the `DavLockDB` directive to specify the full path to the lock database, excluding an extension. If the path is not absolute, it will be taken relative to `ServerRoot`. The implementation of `mod_dav_fs` uses a SDBM database to track user locks.

### Example

`DavLockDB var/DavLock`

The directory containing the lock database file must be writable by the `User` and `Group` under which Apache is running. For security reasons, you should create a directory for this purpose rather than changing the permissions on an existing directory. In the above example, Apache will create files in the `var/` directory under the `ServerRoot` with the base filename `DavLock` and extension name chosen by the server.
