[Gnu-arch-users] Creating mirror via webdav?

[Stephen J. Turnbull]

Gaaahh.  I'm dead stopped on publishing my arch archive with webdav.

(1) I enabled webdav in Apache with

<Directory /home/www/arch-stuff/{archive}>
DAV On
</Directory>

Note, no LIMIT directive here.  The DocumentRoot is /home/www.

(2) On the web host, I did "mkdir -p /home/www/arch-stuff/{archive}",
"chown -R webdata.webdata /home/www/arch-stuff", and fixed up
permissions to "drwxrwsr-x" throughout that part of the tree.

(3) I did

tla make-archive --mirror address@hidden \
                          http://www/arch-stuff/{archive}/mystuff-mirror

which succeeded without comment from tla.

(4) I did

tla mirror-archive address@hidden archivist

which reported

* mirroring address@hidden to \
  address@hidden with limit archivist
** adding category archivist
archive-mirror: error creating category archivist (502 Bad Gateway)

There's a corresponding error in the httpd log:

pc - - [15/Sep/2003:17:21:33 +0900] "MOVE 
/arch-stuff/{archive}/mystuff-mirror/,,address@hidden/ HTTP
/1.1" 502 202

The archive directory was created.  So was the collection
",,address@hidden/".

Now what?
