       davserver -WebDAV server implementation in Python

SYNOPSIS

       davserver OPTIONS

DESCRIPTION

        PyWebDAV  is  a  WebDAV  server implementation in Python. It's aim is to provide a simple
       interface to webdav services to any application which needs it. It can be run as a daemon.

OPTIONS

       -c, --config
           Specify a file where configuration is specified. In this file you can specify  options
           for a running server. For an example look at the config.ini in this directory.

       -D, --directory
           Directory  where  to  serve  data  from.  The  user  that  runs  this server must have
           permissions on that directory. NEVER run as root! Default directory is /tmp

       -H, --host
           Host where to listen on (default: localhost).

       -P, --port
           Port to bind server to (default: 8008).

       -u, --user
           Username for authentication.

       -p, --password
           Password for given user.

       -n, --noauth
           Pass parameter if server should not ask for authentication. This means that every user
           has access.

       -m, --mysql
           Pass  this  parameter if you want MySQL based authentication. If you want to use MySQL
           then the usage of a configuration file is mandatory.

       -J, --lockemu
           Activate experimental LOCK and UNLOCK mode (WebDAV Version 2). Currently know to  work
           but needs more tests. Default is ON.

       -M, --nomime
           Deactivate  mimetype sniffing. Sniffing is based on magic numbers detection but can be
           slow under heavy load. If  you  are  experiencing  speed  problems  try  to  use  this
           parameter.

       -i, --icounter
           If  you  want  to  run  multiple  instances then you have to give each instance it own
           number so that logfiles and such can be identified. Default is 0.

       -d, --daemon ACTION
           Make server act like a daemon. That means that it is going  to  background  mode.  All
           messages  are redirected to logfiles (default: /tmp/pydav.log and /tmp/pydav.err). You
           need to pass one of the following actions to this  parameter,  'start'  to  start  the
           daemon,  'stop'  to  stop the daemon, 'restart' to restart the server, or, 'status' to
           return the status of the server.

       -v, --verbose
           Be verbose.

       -h, --help
           Show this screen.
