Smorgje Posted September 6, 2005 Report Share Posted September 6, 2005 The people at university have been as kind as to give me 200 Megs of space on a webDAV server. But the only problem is, I can't get it to mount properly. (Or at all, even). I set it up correctly using Mandriva Control Centre, and it seems to mount it OK (it gets past the authentication), but I can't see my files in '/mnt/TUDelft/'. I tried to give a mount command from the terminal as root as well as as myself, no luck. I don't know how to give the complete command though, so I just tell it to 'mount /mnt/TUDelft', but it says there is no such device. 'mount.davfs /mnt/TUDelft' says everything went fine, but I still can't see my files Does anybody have any experience with this?! BTW: I'm using Mandriva 10.1 at the moment.

Qchem Posted September 6, 2005 Report Share Posted September 6, 2005 You probably need some extra parameters in your mount command, something like: mount foo://path/to/share /mnt/TUDelft where foo is the remote server and /path/to/share is where your files are on that server. Note. I have zero experience with webDAV, this is just from NFS experience. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smorgje Posted September 6, 2005 Author Report Share Posted September 6, 2005 (edited) Then it will ask me for my password. Which is always wrong, cause it's trying that password for user: (yep, that's empty) It doesn't ask me for a username, but I can't find out any help for mounting davfs in the manpages of mount... :sad: Edited September 6, 2005 by Smorgje Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uralmasha Posted September 6, 2005 Report Share Posted September 6, 2005 mount foo://path/to/share /mnt/TUDelft I never used webDAV either :-) but similar to scp command, I guess the syntax to add the username should be smth like mount smorgje@path.to.host.nl://path/to/share /mnt/TUDelft Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smorgje Posted September 6, 2005 Author Report Share Posted September 6, 2005 Nope, I can't get it to accept my username. Tried: mount http://path.to.server.nl/users/mjepson:mjepson /mnt/TUDelft mount mjepson@http://path.to.server.nl/users/mjepson /mnt/TUDelft mount http://mjepson@path.to.server.nl/users/mjepson /mnt/TUDelft still no luck....

Smorgje Posted September 6, 2005 Author Report Share Posted September 6, 2005 Okay, I've got the syntax: mount -o username=mjepson http://path.to.server.nl/users/mjepson /mnt/TUDelft But it returns: mount: No such file or directory Any ideas?

phunni Posted September 6, 2005 Report Share Posted September 6, 2005 (edited) You probably need to specify a file system type using the -t switch. No idea what the file system would be for a WebDav system... Edit: Just found this: http://dav.sourceforge.net/ Edited September 6, 2005 by phunni Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smorgje Posted September 6, 2005 Author Report Share Posted September 6, 2005 I used that as well, didn't matter (the -t davfs switch). Using mount.davfs didn't make a difference either... :-( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Qchem Posted September 6, 2005 Report Share Posted September 6, 2005 Have you installed the webdav filesystem driver? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smorgje Posted September 6, 2005 Author Report Share Posted September 6, 2005 I guess so, when I went to the webDAV setup in Control Centre -> Mount Points -> webDAV, it started installing stuff which Mandriva found necessary. I suppose it was knowing what it was doing ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smorgje Posted September 6, 2005 Author Report Share Posted September 6, 2005 I looked into that one, I am supposed to have Coda for the kernel. modinfo gave me this: # modinfo coda filename: /lib/modules/2.6.8.1-12mdk/kernel/fs/coda/coda.ko.gz author: Peter J. Braam <braam@cs.cmu.edu> license: GPL vermagic: 2.6.8.1-12mdk 686 gcc-3.4 depends: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smorgje Posted September 6, 2005 Author Report Share Posted September 6, 2005 It might just be a problem at University of course. It worked over there when I was working on a Windows machine (damn thing only had windows, hurt my eyes, it did, I really hate that blue stuff in XP). Anyway, I've been noticing Konqueror isn't coping quite well there either, lots of file not found errors while logging in, and when I get in, I get file not found errors while changing dirs. DAV also says file not found, so it might just be a problem lying at the server, not at the client. Anyway, I'll see what it'll do in a while, I'm sure to let you know! In the mean time, any ideas are still welcome, as I'm not sure it's prob with the server. Greets! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
