<name>mod_dav_fs</name> 
<description>filesystem provider for <module>mod_dav</module></description>
<status>Extension</status>
<sourcefile>mod_dav_fs.c</sourcefile>
<identifier>dav_fs_module</identifier>

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

    <example><title>Example</title>
      Dav filesystem
    </example>

    <p>Since <code>filesystem</code> is the default provider for
    <module>mod_dav</module>, you may simply use the value
    <code>On</code> instead.</p>

<name>DavLockDB</name>
<description>Location of the DAV lock database</description>
<syntax>DavLockDB <var>file-path</var></syntax>
<contextlist><context>server config</context><context>virtual host</context>
</contextlist>

<usage>
    <p>Use the <directive>DavLockDB</directive> 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 <directive
    module="core">ServerRoot</directive>. The implementation of
    <module>mod_dav_fs</module> uses a SDBM database to track user
    locks.</p>

    <!-- XXX: someone should add that tool to the support directory...
    The utility <code>modules/dav/util/lockview</code> can be used from
    the server to display all locks in a lock database.</p> -->

    <example><title>Example</title>
      DavLockDB var/DavLock
    </example>

    <p>The directory containing the lock database file must be
    writable by the <directive module="mpm_common">User</directive>
    and <directive module="mpm_common" >Group</directive> 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 <code>var/</code> directory under the <directive
    module="core">ServerRoot</directive> with the base filename
    <code>DavLock</code> and extension name chosen by the server.</p>
