Apache httpd, WebDAV entries to give access to a directory

Question

After having enabled WebDav on an Apache httpd 2.2, i want to give access to a specific directory (that has not to do with other sites managed by httpd).
What is the smallest set of entries to do this?

Answer 1

The docs suggest something like this would get you started under the default virtual host, once you have installed the module

DavLockDB /usr/local/apache2/var/DavLock

Alias /foo /home/my/files/directory
<Location /foo>
Dav On

AuthType Basic
AuthName DAV
AuthUserFile user.passwd

<LimitExcept GET OPTIONS>
require user admin
</LimitExcept>
</Location>
