I believe .htaccess is directory based - perhaps try putting another .htaccess in the dav directory that's the same as the one in httpdocs except comment out the lines that are causing problems?

I'm trying to enable htdigest protected webdav on a subfolder of a

drupal based site (httpdocs/dav/).

The presence .htaccess (drupal 4.6.1) causes dav write attempts to fail with write permission error.

[Thu Jun 30 13:08:48 2005] [error] [client 67.169.68.156] Unable to PUT new contents for /dav/isna_clinical_cover.p\df. [403, #0] [Thu Jun 30 13:08:48 2005] [error] [client 67.169.68.156] (2)No such file or directory: An error occurred while ope\ning a resource. [500, #0]

If I remove the last few lines in .htaccess (the following lines), the write succeeds.

# Rewrite current-style URLs of the form 'index.php?q=x'. RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php?q=$1 [L,QSA]

How can I make these lines not apply to my /dav directory?

Thanks,

Cheryl
