Which url are you using for webdav ? I suggest try first directly the url with firefox if url is correct will demand to you user and pass.

That´s the first milestone to get WebDAV with OpenKM running! Since 5.1.8 the WebDAV-Url changes.

Secondly the wiki-Post http://wiki.openkm.com/index.php/WebDAV_access is a bit confusing, because the
  • system.webdav.server=on
must be changed in the Administration -> Configuration of OKM and not in the OpenKM.cfg

Thirdly not every WebDAV-Client works simple. In my case Webdrive rocks, NetDrive has some unknown connection-issues, BitKinex connects directly but has probs with directory-ranges and user-rights. I also tested DAVExplorer - very nice - but the datahandling is still like in OKM - nothing for big numbers.

I have improved the http://wiki.openkm.com/index.php/WebDAV_access, sorry for the confusion.

WebDAV is a protocol which is error-prone because not every clients and server implements it in the same way. I don't understan why there are lots of problems depending on the clientm but in the Real World, this seems to be usual.

We changed the WebDAV implementation to improve client compatibility and now works better, but I know it is not perfect. We will keep improving it thnaks to the user feedback.

Please, tell me exactly the OpenKM version (and build) you are using and the neccesary steps to reproduce the issue. Keep on mind that you should use OpenKM-5.1.8 (final) and not a SNAPSHOT previous to the final release.

Regards.
