Sorry if this has been covered, I had a look and couldn't see anything.

I'm struggling to connect from explorer, i just get this error when connecting to subdomain.domain.com.au/dmxdav.axd

404 - File or directory not found.

The resource you are looking for might have been removed, had its name changed, or is temporarily unavailable.

 

There is also no option to open in explorer when i right click on files.

I've gone into the options and made sure webdav is enabled.

Hi Stephen,

Looks like IIS is not routing correctly. When it says 'resource can't be found' it is likely that IIS tried to literally find the resource (which of course isn't present as all content is virtual) and so it failed. Instead it should have routed the call to the dmx WebDAV component. To fully debug you'll need to use Fiddler or a similar tool.

I'm having the same problem running on IIS7 and Window Server 2008 on 64 bit running Integrated Mode on the app pool. I got 404 error and then when I think I fixed the handler mapping, I got 500 error. Nothing in the error log, etc. I changed to Classic Mode in app pool and I get 404 error again. Any idea?

I see these lines in my web.config under system.webservers handlers:


               

Under httpModules, I have:


     

Under httpHandlers, I have:

Hi Steve,

Have you checked out my recent blog post about debugging WebDAV? Check this:

Yes, I'm familiar with Fiddler, I use it all the time and it's a great tool. I'm getting 500 error response on the first GET request to a /dmxdav.axd file.

Hi, do you have any news on this? I'm using the trial but we'll only buy if we can get the webdav working so we can transfer our large number of files. I'm concerned my trial will end before end of month.

Hi Steve,

Is the 500 coming from DMX WebDAV or another component? You can recognize the DMX webdav response in the headers (described in article).

Hi Peter,

Here's what the headers look like:

OPTIONS /dmxdav.axd/Corporation HTTP/1.1
Translate: f
User-Agent: Microsoft Data Access Internet Publishing Provider Protocol Discovery
Host: www.domain.com
Content-Length: 0
Connection: Keep-Alive
Pragma: no-cache

X-NovINet: v1.2



and the response headers:


HTTP/1.1 500 Internal Server Error
Transfer-Encoding: chunked
Content-Type: text/html
Server: Microsoft-IIS/7.0
X-Powered-By: ASP.NET
Date: Thu, 10 Sep 2009 23:50:27 GMT


I doublechecked and the OPTIONS verb is among the allowed verbs in the *.axd handler. What could be wrong?

Peter, I can email you a screenshot of the IIS handler mapping if you can share your email address. Your forum doesn't seem to allow uploading an attachment.

Also, my DMX trial is supposed to expire tomorrow on Sept 11, is there anyway to extend that for a little longer so we can figure out thsi webdav issue. The webdav is absolutely important for us to migrate our hundreds of docs from another platform to DMX, without which we cannot purchase the module if we can't get it to work. :(

Thanks,

Hi Steve,

So it's clear that the call is not getting through. There are several possible causes. The handler settings in web.config (you checked that) and the VERBS that are routed through to the site (you also checked that in IIS). There's not more that corresponds to your situation. The call is good. There's nothing wrong with that. But for some reason IIS is not routing the call.

The trial activation is hard wired in the module and I can't reset/prolong that, sorry. You'll need to reinstall in another instance of DNN for now.

Peter, just want to doublecheck, does your webdav module work with IIS7 integrated mode or classic mode?

Hi Steve,

I've successfully tested with both, but for integrated mode you need to copy over the entries from system.web to system.webserver and adjust them slightly (if you check other entries you'll quickly see how to adjust this).
