Is this even possible anymore? Thanks! The User/Group directives didn't work this way in Apache 1.3 either. They simply changed the user for suexec-delivered CGI scripts, not for regular/dav requests. In general, this is a very difficult problem with no simple solution. I can offer three solutions: 1. Don't bother with the different users. WebDAV repositories should only be accessed by apache anyway. You shouldn't be interacting with them using other filesystem tools. So just use apache access restrictions and let apache manage them all under its userid. 2. Launch a new apache instance for each virtual host on a different port using a different User/Group and then have apache reverse-proxy the requests to the proper port using ProxyPass/ProxyPassReverse 3. Look into the metux mpm. I haven't tried it myself, but it is trying to solve similar problems.
