Once it is done, you shall disable Apache’s default welcome page.<\/p>\n
[root@rmohan.com ~]# sed -i ‘s\/^\/#&\/g’ \/etc\/httpd\/conf.d\/welcome.conf<\/p>\n
Also, prevent the Apache web server from displaying files within the web directory.<\/p>\n
[root@rmohan.com ~]# sed -i “s\/Options Indexes FollowSymLinks\/Options FollowSymLinks\/” \/etc\/httpd\/conf\/httpd.conf<\/p>\n
After that, start and enable the Apache web server.<\/p>\n
[root@rmohan.com ~]# systemctl start httpd.service
\n[root@rmohan.com ~]# systemctl enable httpd.service
\nCreated symlink from \/etc\/systemd\/system\/multi-user.target.wants\/httpd.service to \/usr\/lib\/systemd\/system\/httpd.service.
\nSetup WebDAV<\/p>\n
For Apache, there are three WebDAV-related modules which will be loaded by default when an Apache web server is getting started.<\/p>\n
[root@rmohan.com ~]# httpd -M | grep dav
\ndav_module (shared)
\ndav_fs_module (shared)
\ndav_lock_module (shared)<\/p>\n
Next, create a dedicated directory for WebDAV:<\/p>\n
[root@rmohan.com ~]# mkdir \/var\/www\/html\/webdav
\n[root@rmohan.com ~]# chown -R apache:apache \/var\/www\/html
\n[root@rmohan.com ~]# chmod -R 755 \/var\/www\/html<\/p>\n
For security purposes, you need to create a user account.<\/p>\n
[root@rmohan.com ~]# htpasswd -c \/etc\/httpd\/.htpasswd user1
\nNew password:
\nRe-type new password:
\nAdding password for user user1<\/p>\n
And also, you need to modify the owner and permissions in order to enhance security<\/p>\n
[root@rmohan.com ~]# chown root:apache \/etc\/httpd\/.htpasswd
\n[root@rmohan.com ~]# chmod 640 \/etc\/httpd\/.htpasswd<\/p>\n
Once it is done, you need to create a VirtialHost for WebDAV.<\/p>\n
[root@rmohan.com ~]# vi \/etc\/httpd\/conf.d\/webdav.conf
\nDavLockDB \/var\/www\/html\/DavLock
\n<VirtualHost *:80>
\nServerAdmin webmaster@localhost
\nDocumentRoot \/var\/www\/html\/webdav\/
\nErrorLog \/var\/log\/httpd\/error.log
\nCustomLog \/var\/log\/httpd\/access.log combined
\nAlias \/webdav \/var\/www\/html\/webdav
\n<Directory \/var\/www\/html\/webdav>
\nDAV On
\nAuthType Basic
\nAuthName “webdav”
\nAuthUserFile \/etc\/httpd\/.htpasswd
\nRequire valid-user
\n<\/Directory>
\n<\/VirtualHost><\/p>\n
Once the VirtualHost is configured, you need to restart Apache to put your changes into effect.<\/p>\n
[root@rmohan.com ~]# systemctl restart httpd.service<\/p>\n
Test the functionality of the WebDAV server from a local machine. In order to take advantage of WebDAV, you need to use a qualified client. For example, you can install a program called cadaver on a CentOS 7 desktop<\/p>\n
[root@rmohan.com ~]# yum install cadaver
\nLoaded plugins: fastestmirror, langpacks
\nLoading mirror speeds from cached hostfile
\n* base: mirror.dhakacom.com
\n* epel: mirror2.totbb.net

Installed:
\ncadaver.x86_64 0:0.23.3-9.el7<\/p>\n
Complete!<\/p>\n
Having cadaver installed, use the following command to access the WebDAV server.<\/p>\n
[root@rmohan.com ~]# cadaver http:\/\/192.168.7.234\/webdav\/
\nAuthentication required for webdav on server `192.168.7.234′:
\nUsername: user1
\nPassword:
\ndav:\/webdav\/><\/p>\n
In the cadaver shell, you can upload and organize files as you wish. Here are some examples. To upload a local file<\/p>\n
dav:\/webdav\/> put \/root\/Desktop\/rmohan.com.txt
\nUploading \/root\/Desktop\/rmohan.com.txt to `\/webdav\/rmohan.com.txt’: succeeded.<\/p>\n
To create a directory “dir1” on the WebDAV server<\/p>\n
dav:\/webdav\/> mkdir dir<\/p>\n
To quit the cadaver shell<\/p>\n
dav:\/webdav\/> exit
\nConnection to `192.168.7.234′ closed.
\nIf you want to learn more about cadaver, you can look up the cadaver manual in the Bash shell. With this, the tutorial on setting up a WebDAV Server Using Apache on CentOS 7 comes to an end.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
