- <summary>
- <p>This module <em>requires</em> the service of <module
- >mod_dav</module>. It acts as a support module for <module
- >mod_dav</module> and provides access to resources located in the
- server's file system. The formal name of this provider is
- <code>filesystem</code>. <module>mod_dav</module> backend providers
- will be invoked by using the <directive module="mod_dav">Dav</directive>
- directive:</p>
-
- <example><title>Example</title>
- Dav filesystem
- </example>
-
- <p>Since <code>filesystem</code> is the default provider for
- <module>mod_dav</module>, you may simply use the value
- <code>On</code> instead.</p>

-
- <usage>
- <p>Use the <directive>DavLockDB</directive> directive to specify
- the full path to the lock database, excluding an extension. If
- the path is not absolute, it will be taken relative to <directive
- module="core">ServerRoot</directive>. The implementation of
- <module>mod_dav_fs</module> uses a SDBM database to track user
- locks.</p>
-
- <!-- XXX: someone should add that tool to the support directory...
- The utility <code>modules/dav/util/lockview</code> can be used from
- the server to display all locks in a lock database.</p> -->
-
- <example><title>Example</title>
- DavLockDB var/DavLock
- </example>
-
- <p>The directory containing the lock database file must be
- writable by the <directive module="mpm_common">User</directive>
- and <directive module="mpm_common" >Group</directive> under which
- Apache is running. For security reasons, you should create a
- directory for this purpose rather than changing the permissions on
- an existing directory. In the above example, Apache will create
- files in the <code>var/</code> directory under the <directive
- module="core">ServerRoot</directive> with the base filename
- <code>DavLock</code> and extension name chosen by the server.</p>
