Problems with webdav

Hi, we are having problems with webdav, we can not open documents using web-dav and also using oracle drive. The error: FAILED DURING READ_STREAM TO CLIENT [500] mod_dav.c
the complet message:
OK
GET /dav_portal/portal/MPGP_CLH_ES/MPPG_INICIO_ES/MPPG_PUBLICACION/MPPG_PUB_DOCUMENTACION/MPPG_DOCUMENTOS/Prevencion/GENERAL/Programa Anual de Actividades Preventivas/CLHS A - PROGRAMA de Actividades Preventivas 2007.ppt failed during read_stream to client [500, #0] [mod_dav.c line 1319]
Any suggestion or orientation are welcomed.
A last question, Oracle drive need license ?
Thanks in advanced.
Regards.

I encountered problems when the path is too long.
Try limiting the path to less than 200 characters. I also suggest reading up on good naming conventions for files and folders. Avoid spaces and reserved characters. I know Oracle and Microsoft try to be fool-proof in this aspect, but by doing so they also perpetuate poor file/folder naming conventions for those who aren't aware of the concept.

OCS10g + CS beta - Problem with WebDav / ODrive

Hello
I have an OCS 10.1.1.0.2 with and CSBeta 10.1.2.
I have a login problem with webdav using Oracle Drive or MSWebFolders : login does not work, and I get the following lines (see below) in the application.log.
Of course, the user I'm using HAS an ftp password defined (well at least I did define it several times to be sure, on the CS web ui ). Other users work.
Any clue ?

FdkException Details: oracle.ifs.fdk.FdkException: ErrorCode = ORACLE.FDK.AuthenticationError; DetailedErrorCode = ORACLE.FDK.FtpPasswordNotSet; Cause = IFS-10162: Unable to reauthenticate; ServerStackTraceId = ; Info = null; Entries = null

The FdkException detailed error is misleading - it has nothing to do with FTP passwords not being set.
Essentially, what is happening is that we are first trying to lookup the user in OID and get from them the authpassword;orclcommonpwd attribute and in particular the value of X- ORCLIFSMD5. For some reason, this is not set for your user - or at least it is not returning anyway. Then we are reverting over to check for an application specific version of the authpassword attribute - which also does not return any value for X- ORCLIFSMD5.
The only way these verifiers can be set is by authenticating with cleartext as the end-user in question. This could be done by logging in via SSO for example.
I would try doing an ldapsearch against OID from the realm's user search base for your user in question. Check to see if the authpassword verifiers are set. If they are not set, try authenticating via SSO as the user to some application - and then once again run the ldapsearch to see if the verifiers were generated. once the authpassword;orclcommonpwd verifiers are generated for X- ORCLIFSMD5, you should be able to authenticate via Oracle Drive through DAV.
thanks,
Matt.

Locked file problem with WebDAV

I am using DreamWeaver CS3 on my Macintosh at home and on a
PC at work. I am connecting to my website via WebDAV, and for some
reason Dreamweaver cannot edit the files on the site. When I try to
check out any file I get an error stating: "file.html is locked and
can be viewed but not edited" I then have the option to check it
out or view or cancel. Regardless of what I do, if I continue and
open the file and make changes the file will not get updated on the
remote server even though Dreamweaver reports a successful "put" or
"check in" command in the log file. This happens on both the
Macintosh and the Windows PC. Both are also updated to the latest
versions of Dreamweaver.
The strange thing is, if I mount the WebDAV server as a
filesystem on my macintosh and authenticate with the same
login/password that entered in Dreamweaver's WebDAV settings, I can
edit the html files using a text editor and they save perfectly
fine. Additionally, while the web server is mounted on the desktop,
if I change Dreamweaver's site settings to "local/network" and
enter the locally mounted WebDAV share path instead of using
Dreamweaver's built-in WebDAV client, then everything works
properly in Dreamweaver. Reverting back to using WebDAV in
dreamweaver (as opposed to through the OS) brings about the same
"locked file" problem as before.
There appears to be a problem with Dreamweaver's WebDAV
access to the site, and I'm wondering if there's an easy fix or if
this has been experienced by others?
Thanks,
-Topher

Have a look at FileUtils::DecomposeUnicode and NormalizeUnComposedUnicodeChars. Use the first to convert before using i.e. FileUtils::PMStringToSysFile() and the later afetr i.e. FileUtils::IDFileToPMString().

Problem with some virtual sites and WebDAV

I have a handful of virtual sites on a snow leopard server that have WebDAV turned on to allows the owners of the site to update them. Things were working fine until this weekend when a site owner informed me he has having problems. I use Dreamweaver CS4 to edit sites and when I set them up, I add my admin account to the WebDAV realm allowed to Read/Write and update the site. I confirmed the problem that the owner was having and had the same problem with WebDAV on that site. I quickly checked several others and found that some work fine while others give me an error. Here is the error message I get from Dreamweaver.
I checked the log files for the site and received no useful information. I also looked in /var/log for any entries with WebDAV (grep -i webdav *), and again get no useful information. I tried setting up a new site and got the same error. One thing that I did notice is that the site did not have it's ownership changed to _www and the other sites were and get a feeling that might be part of this. Changing the ownership of all files and directories to _www did not fix the problem.
I'm mystified as to why it works for some sites and not others and am not sure where to go to debug this issue and get it working again.
DNS seems to be OK on the server.
minime:~ admin$ sudo changeip -checkhostname
Password:
Primary address     = 207.65.119.2
Current HostName    = minime.theporch.com
DNS HostName        = minime.theporch.com
The names match. There is nothing to change.
dirserv:success = "success"
Thank you in advance for any help you can offer.

I'm also having the same issue. I have a feeling its related to a problem with spaces and Java, assuming that the "Top Sites" is generated with some Java application.
Maybe Septembers OSX update will help.

Problem accessing filesystem with WebDAV

Hi,
I'm having some issues with WebDAV, I can connect and everything and the root folder shows up like it should in the Finder but when I try to access a folder inside the root directory it starts to load but never displays any content.
The error log on the server gets flooded with:
[Date] [error] [client IP] Provider encountered an error while streaming a multistatus PROPFIND response. [404, #0]
Any ideas?

What's the WebDAV client and the WebDAV server here? I'm going to guess that Mac OS X Server Snow Leopard Server is involved, but it could be either as a client or as a server.
What else is in the logs and specifically adjacent to the error
Provider encountered an error while streaming a multistatus PROPFIND response. 404, #0
If you're serving WebDAV from Mac OS X Server Snow Leopard Server, what users are enabled for access into the WebDAV share?
What are the protection settings on the files being shared by WebDAV? (The shell command +ls -al {directory path}+ will show the settings of the files.)
Also turn on debug-level logging within Apache, and see if the logs then show anything interesting for a subsequent WebDAV access failure.

Dreamweaver 8.0.2 "Put" Issue with WebDav

Dreamweaver 8.0.2 "Put" Issue with WebDav
In Dreamweaver:
I am able to see all of the files in the local and I can see
all of the files in the remote. So here is the kicker....
Dreamweaver is only allowing me "Read" access" in the remote view.
When I try to "Put" files to the server I get an error that says
the put failed... "Access Denied" I am using the exact same
credentials in DW8 with WebDav.
In Windows:
In Windows (My Network Places) I use Windows XP's "web
folders" to bring up an explorer window of my remote servers files.
Read, Write, Edit, Delete works just fine from Windows "web
folders". I am pretty sure "web folders" are an example of a WebDAV
client. When I access the server (remote) folder via Internet
Explorer 7 and Web Folers (WebDav client) I am able to Write, Read,
Edit, Delete.
What we have tried:
- We gave full right access. Still did not work.
- We updated Dreamweaver to DW8.0.2 and it still doesn't want
to work.
Here is what an error message looks like in Dreamweaver
{Background File Activity - Detail}
Started: 5/2/2007 4:07 PM
Lean\5S\default.aspx - error occurred - An HTTP error
occurred - cannot put default.aspx. Access Denied. The file may not

Is this a Windwos rights issue, Microsoft IIS issue, or a
dreameaver issue?
HELP...HELP..HELP - Thank you.

We found the answer.... We need to remove the extension in
IIS. In IIS you must go into the application configuration IIS >
Home Directory Configuration... > App Mappings > Remove
Extensions used. By removing the ASP, ASPX and SHTML extension APP
Mappings we were able to upload files to the site.

Here is the cut of text from article.
Disable the ASP script server, the ColdFusion script server
or other script server you may be using. You do this by clicking
the "Configuration..." button in the screen shot above and removing
the appropriate DLL. This will prevent IIS from sending the
server-side script to the application server for processing.
Someone editing a ColdFusion page would want to see the
pre-processed ColdFusion code, not the resultant post-processed

Everything now is working just fine... Adobe Phone Tech

Thoroughly frustrating problem with Preview

Hi,
I'm new to the forum and tried to hold out as long as possible, but the problem I'm having has so thoroughly frustrated me I had to post this. Let me try to be as clear as possible.
I have a Mac (OS 10.8.2, upgraded from a late-2009 Macbook running Snow Leopard - 2.26 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, 4 gb RAM, 1067 MHz DDR3). I have Adobe Acrobat Pro XI installed. I also have Microsoft Office 2011. Both Acrobat, M. Office, and all my software is fully updated and current. I have no font conflicts, as I have just clean re-installed my OS because this problem is so frustrating.
The issue is with pdfs I make of books I own. Sometimes I will use my iphone 4 (latest iOS 6.1.2) with apps like "CamScanner+" or "GeniusScan+" to copy chapters and make pdfs. (CamScanner+ has built in OCR capability.) I then upload them to my WebDAV bibliography storage cloud on Box.net to access from my Mac laptop. Sometimes I use the University's big overhead scanner to make monochrome pdfs, and run OCR thru Acrobat Pro XI. Sometimes I will use the Canon scanners in the computer labs, and do OCR in Acrobat Pro XI then. In each case, I use Zotero to handle attaching pdfs to bib entries and sync it all up to my WebDAV account. (Zotero has a plugin I use called "Zotfile," which also allows one to extract notes, highlighting, annotations, etc., and store them on Zotero while also keeping them on the pdf.) In either case, though, I always run the pdf thru Acrobat Pro XI to optimize, at the least.
When I access the pdfs for notetaking, research, etc., I tend to use Mac's Preview built-in app. I find it easier to streamline, scroll, view and add notes, less clutery, etc. I see that this new Mountain Lion Preview is much different than Snow Leopard's, which is very regrettable. In this version, Preview saves as you go, it seems.
The problem is that everytime I save the pdf I've been working on from File>Save (and even when Preview saves as I go), it does a number of nasty, unwanted things. First, it somehow doubles the filesize (e.g., from 30mb to 67mb). Second, and MOST HATED, it takes the OCR'ed texts/fonts and converts them all to alien faces, square boxes, or just blanks. (God it's making me angry just thinking about it now - I've spent two full weeks now trying to fix this!!!!) This happens regardless of whether I ClearScan the OCR, Searchable text the OCR, or Searchable text (exact) the OCR. It happens regardless of whether the OCR'ed fonts are embedded, embedded subsets, etc. Every option on Acrobat Pro XI, I feel I have tried and exhausted and Preview still f$&#s it up. As far as I can tell, this happens regardless of what kind of font is used in the OCR'ed pdf (e.g., TrueType, CID, etc.). In every single instance, Preview will 1) double the file size and 2) screw up the fonts upon saving. If I take this newly ruined pdf back into Acrobat Pro, highlight text, copy and try to paste into Word, Chrome, or any other app it produces the same result. However, if I right click and "copy with formatting" from Acrobat Pro, it copies the actual words/font. The newly ruined Preview pdf doesn't return any word searches either. And annotations like highlighting, once extracted or even viewed in the notes&highlighting box, show blanks. I have downloaded and tried a Mac app called Skim, and it is the exact same effect, unless I File>Export...
I know this is not a problem with my Mac's fonts since I just did a clean re-install. Font Book tells me everything is alright too. This occurs regardless of what save settings I choose in Preview (e.g., the default settings, the quartz settings, reduce file size, etc.).
The strange part, though, is that when I take this newly ruined Preview'ed pdf, highlight text, go to font inspector, it says the highlighted font is exactly what it was when Acrobat saved it (e.g., Arial). And if I take this same document back to Acrobat and view properties, it says the fonts are the same as they were when Acrobat Pro originally processed it.
SO... I hope someone can help me with a fix for this. I truly do not want to use Acrobat Pro XI as my research pdf tool. It doesn't scroll smoothly, the layout is clunky, etc. It just isn't conducive to research/reading/notetaking. Preview, I think, is, and so I want to be able to have a fix for this so that Preview will quit ruining my life.
I can provide sample pdfs if that might help. I can provide the original Acrobat Pro XI processed pdfs, as well as the newly ruined Preview pdfs. BTW, I posted this in Adobe's forums as well.

I assume the answer by macjack would not apply in the case of Snow Leopard - Preview version 5.0.3 - but I have the same issue with OCR (not the constant autosave issue though) on my '10 MBP running osx 10.6.8 where suddenly maybe about a year ago 2 hugely annoying things changed in Preview.
As first poster stated (and he/she obviously knows a LOT more about this stuff than me) Preview stopped providing accurate search results with most pdf documents (some downloaded, some created from web, etc., no idea of common thread there).
I can NO LONGER COPY AND PASTE any text in any pdf opened in Preview to another application!! I used to have no problem copying pdf text from Preview to, say, text edit. Now it comes up weird boxes and dashes and no, font choice and/or conflict is not the issue.
I realize this thread is within the Mountain Lion community, and forgive me if I should start a new thread in some other area of this forum saying exactly what I have here, but I have searched and searched on this topic for months and this is the first thread I found which refers to these exact issues I'm enduring.
Any further advice or comments on the subject - or even constructive instructions if I should post elsewhere - would be greatly appreciated!

Problems with comments-enabled PDF: I can't see my client's comments

Hello,
I really hope somebody can help me.
THE SITUATION: I have a comments-enabled PDF. The comments repository is located on my externally hosted webdav server. Both my client and I have local copies of the PDF, and up until today, my client was able to post comments on the PDF.
THE PROBLEM:
- Today, my client suddenly noticed that the review had "expired" and she can't post her comments.
- I am able to see and post my own comments in the PDF, but I can't see my client's comments in the PDF.
- My client can see her own comments. (I don't know if she can see mine.)
- If I log into my webdav site with FTP, I can see my client's XML file which contains all her comments. I can also see my own XML file which contains my comments, and it is indeed updating each time I add a new comment.
I thought it would be possible to import the XML file containing all her comments into the PDF. However XML is not a format that Acrobat allows you to import!!! It only will accept FDF, XFDF, or PDF!
Phone tech support was spectacularly unhelpful. I seriously doubt "Nelson" from Bombay has ever used Acrobat in his life. He asked me to send the file to him, which I did, but I haven't heard back.
So my question is:
1) How can I get my Acrobat file to view the comments which are sitting on the comments server in an xml file? Why would it see mine but ignore hers?
2) If I can't get the comments to show up, then can I at least import my client's comments, which are currently sitting in an XML file, into my PDF?
bonus question: Why is there so little documentation about dealing with webdav comments repositories? Is it considered better to use acrobat.com instead of our own webdav server or something?
This is Acrobat 9.1.0 Pro for Leopard.

Thanks for your reply, Steve. Yes, she did say that there was an end date, but when I go there, I don't see one. Baffling.
I have decided to go over to her office, create an archive of her PDF, then try to pull those comments into a new PDF.
This is a GIANT PAIN. And egg in my face, after I've sold this client on the ease and convenience of a PDF workflow!
So is there any way to get xml comments back into a PDF???

Problems with "File Open" and "File Save As" in Tiger

I recently upgraded to OS10.4.3 on my PowerBook G4 and ever since I have had only frustration upon frustration with this new version.
When launching a program whether it be QuarkXpress 6.5, Illustrator CS, Photoshop CS, InDesign CS or Acrobat 6.0 and you go "File Open", it can take up to 3 minutes before the "Open" window dialog box will appear so that you can access your files. The same applies to the first "File Save As" in any of these programs. After that everything works normally.
Has anyone experienced this problem with Tiger and is there a solution? I should be most grateful for any assistance.

PowerBook G4 Mac OS X (10.4.3)

I got so frustrated with iDisk that I did indeed turn mine off altogether. Now I just mount it when I need it, and do whatever I want to do manually. And it is STILL annoyingly slow, not only in its own operations, but in the way it hijacks the Finder and can sometimes bring all Finder operations to a grinding halt.
I keep a local copy of the all the files I have on my iDisk in a perfectly normal folder. And I keep looking forward to the day when the promised seamless operation of my local files and iDisk will actually work.
I've been waiting for several years and thru several different incarnations of the OS, and it ain't there yet. I think Apple's version of WebDAV is just really really bad. I've heard other WebDAV servers work better. And I figured it was a bad sign when, back in Panther, one of Apple's own helpers recommended a third party WebDAV software (Goliath) to access the servers rather than using the Finder. I didn't think things could get any worse--until Tiger came along. A bad situation can get worse, and it did.
Maybe when Leopard gets here.....

Publish iCal to OS X Server 10.3.9 with WebDAV enabled--not working

I've published iCal calendars to other servers with WebDAV enabled, but so far have not been able to publish to OS X 10.3.9 server with WebDAV enabled.
Error message is: Calendar could not be published. This access has been forbidden by server.
I'm using an administrative username and password to eliminate any question about access to specific directories, I've ensured that the site is WebDAV enabled using the OS X Server Admin gui (so, web/sites/domain name/ editing section, under Options). I've been unable to find any more detailed instructions on publishing to OS X server. Any suggestions, webpage tutorials, etc., greatly appreciated.
FWIW, I suspect the folder location for where the .ics file would go on the server may be the issue. The web content is in Library/WebServer/foldername and this is where I put the calendar folder.

Hi Jovan
I don’t think its a problem with 10.3 server as such. You’ve got to remember that 10.3 is getting on a bit. As far as supporting the latest drive sizes Apple as well as other interested parties would devote their energies in supporting the latest operating systems. For example Microsoft have recently released Vista. Most interested parties will get on board the Vista bandwagon and start developing and writing drivers and software for that rather than XP. After a while you will start to see less and less being developed for the older operating system. I think this is just one of those times.

Vibe 3.2 problems with special characters?

I'm not sure where the issue lies here, the client or Vibe, so I'll throw
this out there to see if anyone has run into this problem. I have a user
with a + sign in their password. If he tries to log in from either his
Android phone or his Android tablet, he gets a bad password error. Using a
different browser on the tablet, he was able to get logged in. Using my
Android phone, he was also able to get logged in.
Are there any known issues with Vibe not supporting certain browsers for
special characters in passwords? I don't think he had the problem with Vibe
3.1.

Yes, you're right. Same issue here with a '' character. Found this:
'6.2 Character Restrictions in Usernames and Passwords
Do not use extended characters or double-byte characters in Novell Vibe usernames and passwords.
This includes usernames and passwords that are synchronized from an LDAP directory into Vibe.
This limitation is caused by the open source Spring Security (http://static.springframework.org/
spring-security/site) that Vibe uses for authentication, in combination with the various authentication
methodsboth basic authentication (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Basic_a...authentication) and
form-based authentication (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Form_ba...tication)used by
single sign-on products such as Novell Authentication Manager, by Web services, and by WebDAV.
Only ASCII characters are properly interpreted in all combinations.'

Extremely frustrating for anyone using strong passwords...

Solution to the "Disappearing Comments" problem with shared reviews

I've been having repeated problems with users losing their comments on shared reviews, hosted on my webDAV server. After tearing my hair out for days, I wanted to share the simple fix to this issue, plus another tip:
DON'T USE PERIODS OR SPACES IN FILE NAMES. Use hyphens and underscores instead.
Illegal characters seem to gradually corrupt the file to the point where potentially every comment can get overwritten with a blank .xml file, permanently losing all your comments.
My wish to Adobe is that they would put a pop-up warning at the time of saving a file for shared reviews, something to the effect of:
"WARNING! saving a shared file with a space or a period could result in data corruption when shared over network drives or webDAV. Do you want to replace illegal characters with underscores?"
My other tip is this:
If using a webDAV server as I am, be sure to use the IP address rather than the domain name when specifying the location of the server.

With all the issues you describe, I would search for something conflicting with Mountain Lion.
Have you booted into Safe Mode and checked to see if it works correctly there? It will take a while to boot, and it will run a bit slow, so just look for the issues you described above. If they don't appear, you've got something installed that is causing the issues.

IPhoto - MobileMe gallery subscription - problem with password-protected

I am having a peculiar problem with subscribed galleries from MobileMe in iPhoto 08 and iPhoto 09. For galleries that have password-protection enabled, the full URL of the gallery subscription feed is pulled through as the Subscription title instead of the gallery title.
For example "http://gallery.e.com/ACCOUNT-NAME/XXXXXX/?webdav-method-truthget&depth=infinit y&feedfmt=atom....
This doesn't occur for public MobileMe galleries. The title of the gallery comes across and the URL of the subscription is hidden.
Anyone having similar problems? Local Genius Bar couldn't help and assumed it was just a bug, but it doesn't seem to be typical of Apple.
As an aside, it would also be nice to have these feed subscriptions behave similarly to the way RSS subscriptions work in Mail, with the ability to select how often the feed is queried and indicate the number of new items. This would alert users of changes to feeds.
Joe

Upon further research, it appears that this problem occurs when publishing from either iPhoto or Aperture to MobileMe. The problem seems to be when a gallery is published and one chooses not to have the gallery appear on the main gallery page (hidden). It seems to have nothing to do with whether or not one protects the gallery with a password.
So, Apple, if you are listening, can you provide any information on how to have the title of the gallery come through when subscribing using iPhoto while at the same time not listing the gallery on the main MobileMe gallery page? This seems to be a fixable bug.

Problem with path length when using oracle drive

Hello!
Does anybody else experience this problem with Oracle Drive?
When I create a deep or nested hierarchy in which the path length is longer than 250 (the limit might be 255) characters, I cannot access the deeper subpages.
Example:"X:\INET\START1\pfadlaengentest\das istein langer ordnername mit etwa 50 zeichen\and this is another veryveryvery long\and this is another veryveryvery lon2\and this is another veryveryvery lon3\and this is another veryveryvery lon4\and this is another veryveryvery lon5".
I can access the page "and this is another veryveryvery lon4" but not "and this is another veryveryvery lon5"
Is this problem due to WebDAV?
What can I do - I think it is a critical error / bug?
Regards Joerg.

I opened a service request and oracle support could help me.
The problem is the windows file system: the path length cannot be longer than 256 chars.
There's a workaround with MS-Webfolders.
More information is available via metalink: watch out for SR-Number 5659267.992.

Problem with one computer: [RegTask] - Server rejected registration request: 3

Hi!
I having some problem with One of our clients, its mine :)
It does not register with the site
ClientIDManagerStartup.log:
MP_RegistrationManager.log
I have no idea why! I don't even use https and PKI. I have done a reinstalled the client by removing "C:\windows\SMSCFG.ini" and the SMS certificates before install but it still won't register. CCMSetup logs return successfull. Boundaries is setup
correctly.
I have also tried to uninstall ccmagent and readded the computer object in SCCM and installed it through client push but still the same problem.
I really don't want to reinstall the whole computer as I have already installed lots of applications i don't know if that will work anyway, could try to run a sysprep maybe.
Any ideas?
Thanks!

if that is the error you need to look at your IIS & Webdav & SQL Configurations... you can take some help from below blogs to troubleshoot this
