webDAV - Upload: Zero Byte Files

[snapr]

Problem
After the file has been uploaded it shows up as being empty.

Example

• using OSX's Finder
• on some linux distributions

Solution on linux
Edit fIle /etc/davfs2/davfs2.conf

Code: Select all

use_locks 0

Solution OSX, using Finder

Finder will only work with apache and mod_php. Any other webserver or fastcgi system will fail.

When using this with Apache + FastCGI PHP completely drops the request body, so it will seem as if the PUT request was succesful, but the file will end up empty.

You have to use a different client like Cyberduck

Comments appreciated ~ snapr

Currently Finder will only work with apache and mod_php. Any other webserver or fastcgi system will fail.

Another workaround is to use muCommander with which webDAV upload works fine and also doubles as a FTP-client.
