NAME
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.
