WEBDAV login on Windows 7 fails

[tom555]

Hi,

everytime wenn i try to login to the webdav folder using Windows 7 network shares, it does not accept my login data. It ask 3 times for the credentials and then throws me out with error "connection not possible". Wenn i use WebDav navigator from my iPhone i don't have any problem, just Windows does not like it. I already did all your steps on the help page http://owncloud.org/support/webdav/. Connection is working but it does not accept my login credentials. Any Idea what the problem could be here ?

Hello,

I had the same problem with webdav on windows 7.

Finally I changed the url in "Folder" from:

Code: Select all

http://www.mywebsite.tld/mydir/files/webdav.php


to

Code: Select all

\\mywebsite.tld\mydir\files\webdav.php


And it worked fine (with Owncloud's account user and password...)

You can check this topic, there is a screenshot:

Great thing, thx. That did the trick . Slow as hell but it is working

[daweb]

Yes very slow for me too, like 35kb/s...

LOL 35 KB/sec, i have 5 KB/sec.

I found something that helped a lot of people:

1. In Internet Explorer, open the Tools menu, then click Internet Options.
2. Select the Connections tab.
3. Click the LAN Settings button
4. Uncheck the “Automatically detect settings” box.
5. Click OK until you’re out of dialog hell.

Maybe that helps for you, for me it does'nt

These solutions didn't work for me. I'm using owncloud on an excito B3 home linux server.

Mapping http://b3/owncloud/files/webdav.php fails after three login attempts, suggesting the login credentials are incorrect.

Mapping http://b3/owncloud/files/webdav.php fails after three login attempts, saying it can't reach the server.

So in the first instance I am reaching the server, but for some reason even though the credentials are correct it doesn't work. (I have started the WebClient service and modified the registry as instructed).

FIXED: (err.. read more)
Problem was php.ini memory_limit (which is 128M by default - changed to 1024M). Mapping to http://b3/owncloud/files/webdav.php now works. See BROKEN AGAIN below:

LEARNING: Follow the instructions at the top of the forum (I used the test script) - thanks for providing this! I wonder if it solves other problems I had with owncloud 2!

BROKEN AGAIN
Well it seems that login was a lucky break as:
- while that was working I could not log in from a different machine (Windows XP)
- this morning I can't login via WebDav from the Windows 7 machine either (though other features seem fine)
- inbetween set up symbolic links to two very large repositories already on the Linux server (one of pictures and one of music). These have been scanned and are accessible (but did not need to be uploaded). Might this be an issue - growing the database and screwing webdav login? Seems unlikely to stop webdav login while everything else functions fine.

Thanks,

Mark
