Having trouble getting WebDAV to work on OSX Server 10.6.3

Guys I hope you can help here.
I've got an OSX 10.6.3 server behind a BT Business Broadband Hub router. I am trying to set up WebDAV on the file shares so that they can be accessed remotely. I have set it up according to various notes I've read but I can't get it to connect remotely. Can you help please?
This is what I've done:
On the SERVER:
Enabled Web service in Server Preferences but not started it
In Server Admin I've gone to the Web screen then Sites. I've created a new Site called Remote and WebDAV enabled it. I've created a new Realm called WebDAV and set it so that a couple of the users have read/write via WebDAV rights. I've set the Realm to point to one of the file shares. I've set security initially to not run via SSL and set authentication to basic, just at this stage for testing (I'll lock it down later).
On the ROUTER:
Set (and paid for) a static IP public facing
Created a port forward called WebDAV pointing to the internal IP address of the server, port 80
Enabled firewalling to allow all outbound but block all inbound save for http, https and all specifically port forwarded traffic
On the EXTERNAL DEVICE
Tried to Connect to Server pointing to each of the following:
http://static_public_ip/remote
http://static_public_ip:80/remote
http://static_public_ip/webdav
http://static_public_ip:80/webdav
http://static_public_ip/path_to_share_set_in_realm
http://static_public_ip:80/path_to_share_set_in_realm
Nothing will connect to the server - just keeps saying server not available or not responding or similar.
What am I missing here?
Really hope someone can help, I spent hours on this yesterday!
Many thanks in advance guys

No answers, just some questions...
Tried upgrading to OS X Server 10.6.8?
Are there any relevent diagnostics being logged in the Apache logs?
"Nothing will connect to the server - just keeps saying server not available or not responding or similar"  — Please post the exact error message text; in this area, there are some similarly-worded error messages from the various layers of OS X Server, so the phrasing matters.
Does an http or https connection to the web server work?

    What about when using the "Time Capsule" HD as the external disk, especially when it is connected by ethernet cable? I'm having trouble getting it to work at all. Don't need it to work as anything else, other than a ethernet connected Time Machine backup. Already have a wireless network that works fine so no need to mess with it. We get the internet via cable company and their modem is upstairs and the Time Capsule is downstairs in the basement. The latest error message was about it could not backup as it was already in use (should have written it down before clicking OK and moving on.

  • I am having trouble getting buttons to work in Captivate 8 trial version using a responsive design template. Any suggestions?

    I have a trial version of Captivate 8 that I am evaluating to determine if it will be an option to replace a software we currently use. However I am having a lot of trouble getting even the simplest of tasks to work using the responsive design template. To troubleshoot I created 2 projects 1st a completed empty project using responsive design and a 2nd blank project using the blank project template. I created an audio file that the button, when pressed, will play. I can place a button on first slide of both projects, rollovers work fine, but in the responsive design project buttons will not work to trigger the action. Is this a known issue in the trial version?

    A Blank project is a normal cptx-project, not a responsive project, it has no breakpoint views like a responsive project, it is meant to have always the same layout but on publishing you can choose to have it 'rescale' automatically.  A responsive project allows you to create slightly different layouts for the three breakpoint views: Primary (desktop/laptop/landscape on tablets), Tablet (portrait on tablet) and mobile (phones, where the browser has much lower resolution than the real phone resolution). The 'look' of a project, whether it is responsive or not will be defined by the Theme that is the default theme at that moment, and with the default theme colors that you have at that moment. I think in newbie mode the default theme is White (not sure, never used newbie mode). If you choose another theme as default theme, a blank project and a responsive project will open with that theme applied to it. All themes coming with CP8 are responsive, but you can use them also for normal projects, in that case you only use the object styles for Primary view. Each object style normally has 3 versions, for the 3 breakpoint views.

  • Old router broke - got new one and having trouble getting wireless to work

    Hi -I've had a 1st gen ATV for about a year. I've had difficulties when my router gets disconnected or something for a while. I had it replaced today. Now I'm having a problem getting the aTV to hook up wifi.
    Everything runs perfectly streaming from my computer (PC) when hooked up with ethernet. But when I disconnect - the screen does not show the router address or the dns address and the connection is lost. I know its an easy fix but I can't for the life of me figure out what to do. I'm ok with a computer but not totally tech savvy.
    I've tried shutting down my router firewall and my computer firewall. I tried as suggested on the site to add the MAC info. When i run the wireless set up - it sees my new router (2wire) and goes thru that, then it says it connected or something but that I am not connected to the internet. It gives me the option to do that and it appears to work but then no router or DNS info and therefore it won't work.
    Can you help?

    is there any manual setting of the IP address setup on the Apple TV? If it is stuck with an old Manual setup on it, it could be not getting the new assignment from your Router.... is the router setup with DHCP enabled? Have you verified that you can connect to the internet from any other device such as an iPad, iPhone, Macbook, Notebook or wifi anything other than the apple tv?

  • Having trouble getting CoRD to work with 10.6.8?

    I have no trouble using the CoRD Remote Desktop Client with my Lion 10.7.5, but it doesn't want to work on my colleague's Macbook.  She has Snow Leopard 10.6.8.  Does CoRD not work with Snow Leopard?  Should I use a different RDC and, if so, which one?
    Thanks!

    It should work:

    A lot of open source programs though require the correct version of X11 installed, and the correct Java installed.

  • Having trouble getting IPv6 to work

    I've configured my AEBSn base station to allow IPv6 tunneling, but I can't seem to actually make an IPv6 connection. I could swear this was working before.
    My network has the AEBSn as the main router, configured and 5GHz N only, and an AEBS (dome) and and Express configured to bridge as G. The dome and express are in a WDS net but the AEBSn doesn't participate in that.
    I tried snooping with wireshark on the cable modem side of the AEBSn while doing a "ping6 www.kame.net" and I see the Echo request go out, then I see an echo reply come back, then the base station sends a ICMP destination unreachable to the IPv4 router for KAME. ***?
    First I tried this with the ipv6 firewall off, then I tried to configure the firewall. When I do that and I add the IPv6 address of my mac to the list of allowed incoming connections and hit update, it doesn't stick. The base station comes back up with no stations listed in the firewall exceptions list.
    I'm running 7.2.1 in the AEBSn, but I've tried going back to 7.2 and 7.1 with the same result.
    Everything else works fine. What am I doing wrong?

  • Having trouble getting automounting to work.

    Hi, I am trying to get automounting working properly on a ACER aspire 3680. I have installed HAL and thunar-volman. I added hal to my rc.conf DAEMONS=() line, but yet automounting does not work for some reason. I followed the steps in this wiki: http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/HAL#Policies in regards to setting the policies and all that. I still cannot automount however. Can anyone clue me in on maybe an extra step I'm missing?

  • Replaced iMac Hard Drive, now having trouble getting TM back working

    The drive on my iMac failed and was replaced. I used Migration Assistant to get data from my Time Machine backups (on 1TB Time Capsule) to the new drive--no problems! (Time Capsule is connected to my iMac by Ethernet as the wireless part of TC doesn't work anymore.) Now I'm trying to get Time Machine back working with this new drive and would like to continue from the backups I have. However, for several hours all it has done is cycle through Calculating Changes to Cleaning Up multiple times. When I look at the TM prefs, it knows the oldest backup was on Feb 28 before the drive starting failing, so I know it's seeing the backups on the TC. I believe I read that because of the new drive the first backup would be a full backup. However, for several hours all it has done is cycle through Calculating Changes to Cleaning Up multiple times.
    I've been reading through some of the discussions and the tips at top of page, but am still not sure what to do. Is there something I can do to get this working from where I left off, or am I just going to have to reformat the TC and start over?
    Thanks for any help/suggestions.

    On a Time Capsule, deleting a lot of old backups is an excruciatingly slow process.
    TM must delete the oldest backup, dismount the sparse bundle, compact the sparse bundle, then mount it again to see if it's made enough room. This can go on (as you see) for a very long time, even via Ethernet.
    Since Time Machine will never delete the last remaining backup, it needs twice the space of the data it's backing-up, plus 20% temporarily for workspace. So if your TC isn't 220% the size of the data on your system, the backup will (eventually) fail, and you'll have no choice but to delete the sparse bundle.
    On the other hand, if it's considerably larger than that, you can speed the process up a bit by manually deleting several old backups at a time, then compacting the sparse bundle yourself, per #12 in the Frequently Asked Questions *User Tip,* also at the top of this forum.
    Click here to download the +Time Machine Buddy+ widget. It shows the messages from your logs for one TM backup run at a time, in a small window. That will show how much space it needs, and how much is currently available, so you can determine how to proceed.

  • I am having trouble getting thunderbolt to work between my macbook pro and imac

    I am trying ot set up thunderbolt on my labtop and desktop.  I plugged both into the thunderbolt as well as a power sorce but neither seem to recognise the Thunderbolt.  I looked up a totorial that said I should go to system preferences and displays and change the Arragement but my display only has display and color.  I've updated both and have OS X Lion 10.7.5 on both.  I feel like it's got to be something simple I'm over looking. 

    Awesome, thanks everyone for your brilliant ideas in regards to trouble shooting this issue.

  • I have an older NEC MultiSync LCD 1700V monitor. I'm having trouble getting it to work with my MAC BOOK Pro with Mavericks. Is the monitor outdated?

    I have an older NEC MultiSync LCD 1700V monitor I used for my MAC Power PC G5 (with the Tower). I am discarding the G% and have tried to connect to the laptop MAC BOOK Pro using the 15 pin dongle for connectivity. I get the screen with the desktop and icons, but I cannot get any applications or folders to come up on the screen. Is the monitor just outdated for the newer softward, or isk there some fix?
    Please advise.

    10.9 Mavericks changes the way displays are treated, and the new default is that each display is an independent workspace. This can be put back to the "correct" Extended Desktop way.
    Windows in Mavericks reside in a single space by default, so they usually don't span multiple displays. When a window is dragged between displays, it appears translucent on one of the displays to indicate this. After you are done dragging the window, it snaps to one display.
    If you need an app window to span multiple displays, deselect the option "Displays have separate Spaces" in the Mission Control pane of System Preferences.

    Reboot, download iTunes, then reinstall, either using an account with administrative rights, or right-clicking the downloaded installer and selecting Run as Administrator.
    The uninstall and reinstall process will preserve your iTunes library and settings, but ideally you would back up the library and your other important personal documents and data on a regular basis. See this user tip for a suggested technique.

    HI,
    The Apple IDs from @mac.com and @me.com (Older MobileMe and more recent iCloud Names) are also Valid AIM Screen names.
    Any other sort of Apple ID is not a Valid AIM Name.
    A Google ID that is associated with Google Mail Account (And has "Talk" enable on your Google Settings) can be used in iChat as  Jabber Name/ID.  (Google Run  Jabber server).
    Jabber and AIM are different IM Services and it is not easy or straight forward to add Buddies from one Service to the Buddy List of another.  (As A Starting point consider it "impossible")
    iChat 4 and 5 have links to the registration page of @Mac.com here with a "Get an iChat Account" button in the add (Account) screen  (You select @mac.com or MobileMe and then press the Button - Choosing AIM and then pressing the button used to lead to the AIM registration page but AIM moved their page).
    Apple IDs can be any valid email (or an @mac.com or iCloud registration)
    Therefore you could make a Google ID into an Apple ID.
    However this will not be a valid AIM Screen Name the way @mac.com or MobileMe/iCloud ones are.
