Can't write to WEBDAV, Forbidden 403

Virtualmin

Hi

I have added WEBDAV to a server and can connect to it OK, but I cannot write to it, I get 403 Forbidden message.

Does anyone have any idea why?

Thanks

OK I have fixed this now by changing permissions, from this thread:
http://www.virtualmin.com/node/5816

but there is something else I do not understand…

When I setup Webdav, if I go to the root account domain:
www.mydomain.com

I am able to view the files in the webdav folder in the browser!

But if I go to www.mydomain.com/dav, then it asks me to login.

BUT this is the exact same folder. /dav just maps to public_html

Now I know I can change this, I did some experimenting by creating a new sub-folder and setting the /dav mapping to that, but by default it just set /dav to go to public_html which in my mind is a MASSIVE security and privacy risk because all my files I am uploading to /dav can be seen in the browser (if you know the direct URL due to directory indexing off).

Thanks

I am also confusing and I don’t know nobody answering these questions …
