quick check with cgi script on webspace, albeit not executed by the webDAV user, but the "webpack user"

permissions of /dev/null:

Can you try to use a different webdav client and check if that works?

  • checked with cyberduck, same symptom and error_log entries....
  • solved by appending directory to webDAV URL like https://nteg.mywebdav.de/directory
  • no bug but incomplete configuration on my part and confusing error message on webDAV side.
  • Thanks for the fast response!
