esjay Posted August 17, 2004 Posted August 17, 2004 Does TCH's support WebDAV? Or would an account be able to arrange to have WebDAV enabled for a website? I have it working on my home Apache server, but I would like to be able to synchronize my sites. For more information on WebDAV, here's a link to Apache's WebDAV module documentation. Thanks, Wayne Quote
TCH-Rick Posted August 17, 2004 Posted August 17, 2004 We do not support WebDAV on any servers and cannot install it on an individual account. Quote
Celos Posted September 8, 2004 Posted September 8, 2004 Hi there, Rick, does that mean that I cannot install WebDAV on my own, or simply that you won't support it if I have problems? Thanks! Quote
TCH-Bruce Posted September 8, 2004 Posted September 8, 2004 We do not support WebDAV on any servers and cannot install it on an individual account. I am pretty sure he means it is not allowed. But he will correct me if I am wrong. Quote
TCH-Don Posted September 8, 2004 Posted September 8, 2004 I am rather disturbed by the statement Another possible denial-of-service attack involves a client simply filling up all available disk space with many large files. There is no direct way to prevent this in Apache, so you should avoid giving DAV access to untrusted users. How do we know who is a trusted user? An interesting idea, but not for shared hosting.

taznumber1 Posted September 8, 2004 Posted September 8, 2004 I have it working on my home Apache server, but I would like to be able to synchronize my sites. Why don't you just set up a script that will at a given interval upload your site from your home machine to your tch account. Because you should schedule a cron job to make a tar file of your web directory at a given interval, and then upload it to your tch account. Then set up a cron job on the tch end to uncompress your tar file and replace all the contents on your tch account. I have something similiar to this except it goes the other way so that I keep a current backup of my tch site. Quote
Deverill Posted September 10, 2004 Posted September 10, 2004 Wouldn't a tarball on a regular basis use up a lot more bandwidth than just the potentially few or no files that have actually been updated? It may be a show-stopper for someone with a really big site. Quote

It may be a show-stopper for someone with a really big site. You can also set your tar ball creation to only include files that have changed in a given amount of time period like a month or a week. But that would be one of the possiable solutions I can think of except you manually update the given files that change when you change them and are ready for them to be public. But I think that is what the user is trying to get away from. Quote
mitten Posted September 16, 2004 Posted September 16, 2004 Is there any change in thought on this idea? I'm looking at the Mozilla calendar application (Sunbird) and would like to be able to publish my calendar so I can synchronize it with my husband's calendar. Here's what Mozilla says it needs: http://www.mozilla.org/projects/calendar/faq.html#share How can I serve my shared calendars? To share your calendars, you need access to a webDAV server. If you run your own web server, you can install mod_dav, a free Apache module that will turn your web server into a webDAV server. Instructions on how to set it up are on their website. Once you set up your webDAV server, you can publish your calendar to the site, then subscribe to it from any other Mozilla Calendar. Automatically updating the calendar will give you a poor man's calendar server. This thread makes it sound like I'm stuffed and can't do this. But I thought I'd ask just in case things have changed. Thanks. Quote
TCH-Rob Posted September 16, 2004 Posted September 16, 2004 Nothing has changed on this at the present time. Quote
dmakovec Posted January 4, 2005 Posted January 4, 2005 Nothing has changed on this at the present time. I too am interested in WebDAV for Mozilla Calendar. I've noticed that some other providers are beginning to provide this functionality and seem to have been able to take steps to mitigate the problems you've described above. Perhaps the technology has now matured to such a degree where it is worth considering it again? Quote
TCH-Rob Posted January 5, 2005 Posted January 5, 2005 It would have to be something we would have to look into but implementing this across 80 some-odd servers might make the chances slim. Quote
DaemonLee Posted January 24, 2005 Posted January 24, 2005 It would have to be something we would have to look into but implementing this across 80 some-odd servers might make the chances slim. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> You mean 90-ish? Quote
nateomedia Posted January 27, 2005 Posted January 27, 2005 I just wanted to add that I am also interested in using SunBird for calendar sharing for my company. We have an internal server that we can route through, but I'd prefer to make the calendar accessible at home or work. Quote
fink08 Posted February 5, 2005 Posted February 5, 2005 I would like to add my interest in SunBird + WebDAV to the other requests. Quote
aron Posted February 6, 2005 Posted February 6, 2005 If you're interested in using SunBird, there's an ftp option for calendar sharing. Quote
swbuehler Posted February 14, 2005 Posted February 14, 2005 I just wanted to add that I am also interested in using SunBird for calendar sharing for my company. We have an internal server that we can route through, but I'd prefer to make the calendar accessible at home or work. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> icalx.com offers free webDAV hosting for iCal, Mozilla Calendar/Sunbird, etc, in either public or private directories. It also offers phpiCalendar previews of your calendars if you want to share it with others. I've been using their service with my iCal remote copies, and just upload them to my TCH account using the File Manager in cpanel. Quote
mathias Posted May 25, 2005 Posted May 25, 2005 I too am interested in webdav support for my sites and am willing to pay extra for such services. Quote
TCH-Don Posted May 25, 2005 Posted May 25, 2005 For shared hosting I think this is too much of a security risk. Nothing has changed. Quote
lgwapnitsky Posted January 13, 2006 Posted January 13, 2006 If you're interested in using SunBird, there's an ftp option for calendar sharing. As of the .3 version, this option no longer exists from what I can see. I'll toss in my vote for WebDAV support. Quote
TCH-Bruce Posted January 13, 2006 Posted January 13, 2006 WebDAV will not be added on shared hosting servers. Sorry. Quote
