There are various ways of publishing content to your Web server. (See
to Publish Content to Your Web Server" on page
Authoring and Versioning (WebDAV) is an industry standard protocol and is
an enhancement to the HTTP protocol, turning the Web into a document
database that enables collaborative creation, editing, and searching from
remote locations.
For your users to benefit from WebDAV, it must first be enabled. WebDAV is
enabled by default once you install NetWare 6. But if you need to enable or
disable it, you can do so from NetWare Web Manager.
To enable WebDAV on your Enterprise Server, do the following:
1
From the NetWare Web Manager home page, click NetWare Enterprise
Web Server servername > WebDAV.
2
Under WebDAV State, click On.
3
Click OK.
4
Click Save and Apply.
You can configure the following document preferences from the Web
Manager home page by clicking Enterprise Web Server servername > Content
Management > Document Preferences.
If a document name is not specified in a URL, the Web server will look for a
specific filename (or home page) such as INDEX.HTML, and return it to the
Web browser. The filename that the Web Server looks for is configurable
using the Document Preferences page of Web Manager. If the specified
filename cannot be found, the Web browser will display a listing of files and
folders located at the URL.
By default, the Enterprise Web Server defines INDEX.HTML and
HOME.HTML as the default home page filenames, but you can set these to
whatever filename you choose.
