Sorry for my previous html posting. Here it goes... Basically I am trying to upload a file using client program that uses HTTP PUT method, VBScript, MSXML2.XMLHTTP.3.0 object. The uploaded file need to be stored on Apache Server 2.0 using CGI+PERL. I am using Windows XP SP2 and IE 6.0 SP2. I configured my Apache 2.0 to integrate with DAV module as told at http://www.informit.com/articles/printerfriendly.asp?p=30021. I added the line "DavLockDB DavLock" to my httpd.conf where DavLock is a simple text created by me and resides in home directory. However when I upload a text file to the server, the browser hangs and the cpu usage suddenly surges up and finally I get a response in the browser saying below: Status: Conflict Response : <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//IETF//DTD HTML 2.0//EN"> <html><head> <title>409 Conflict</title> </head><body> <h1>Conflict</h1> <p>Cannot PUT to a collection.</p> <hr /> <address>Apache/2.0.55 (Win32) DAV/2 Server at localhost Port 80</address> </body></html> and finally the access.log says below : "PUT /~117382/ HTTP/1.1" 409 256 my httpd.conf looks like below: ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ServerRoot "C:/Program Files/Apache Group/Apache2" PidFile logs/httpd.pid Timeout 300 KeepAlive On MaxKeepAliveRequests 100 KeepAliveTimeout 15 <IfModule mpm_winnt.c> ThreadsPerChild 250 MaxRequestsPerChild 0 </IfModule> Listen 80 LoadModule access_module modules/mod_access.so LoadModule actions_module modules/mod_actions.so LoadModule alias_module modules/mod_alias.so LoadModule asis_module modules/mod_asis.so LoadModule auth_module modules/mod_auth.so LoadModule autoindex_module modules/mod_autoindex.so LoadModule cgi_module modules/mod_cgi.so LoadModule dav_module modules/mod_dav.so LoadModule dav_fs_module modules/mod_dav_fs.so LoadModule dir_module modules/mod_dir.so LoadModule env_module modules/mod_env.so LoadModule imap_module modules/mod_imap.so LoadModule include_module modules/mod_include.so LoadModule isapi_module modules/mod_isapi.so LoadModule log_config_module modules/mod_log_config.so LoadModule mime_module modules/mod_mime.so LoadModule negotiation_module modules/mod_negotiation.so LoadModule setenvif_module modules/mod_setenvif.so LoadModule userdir_module modules/mod_userdir.so DavLockDB DavLock ServerAdmin babloosony@xxxxxxxxx ServerName HYDDL0337.cts.com:80 UseCanonicalName Off DocumentRoot "C:/Program Files/Apache Group/Apache2/htdocs" <Directory /> Options FollowSymLinks AllowOverride None </Directory> <Directory "C:/Program Files/Apache Group/Apache2/htdocs"> Options Indexes FollowSymLinks AllowOverride None Order allow,deny Allow from all </Directory> UserDir "My Documents/My Website" <Directory "C:/Documents and Settings/*/My Documents/My Website"> Dav On Script PUT putscript.pl AllowOverride FileInfo AuthConfig Limit Options MultiViews Indexes SymLinksIfOwnerMatch IncludesNoExec ExecCGI <LimitExcept PUT GET POST OPTIONS PROPFIND> Order deny,allow Allow from all </LimitExcept> </Directory> DirectoryIndex ngim-index.html AccessFileName .htaccess <FilesMatch "^\.ht"> Order allow,deny Deny from all </FilesMatch> TypesConfig conf/mime.types DefaultType text/plain <IfModule mod_mime_magic.c> MIMEMagicFile conf/magic </IfModule> HostnameLookups Off ErrorLog logs/error.log LogLevel warn LogFormat "%h %l %u %t \"%r\" %>s %b \"%{Referer}i\" \"%{User-Agent}i\"" combined LogFormat "%h %l %u %t \"%r\" %>s %b" common LogFormat "%{Referer}i -> %U" referer LogFormat "%{User-agent}i" agent CustomLog logs/access.log common ServerTokens Full ServerSignature On Alias /icons/ "C:/Program Files/Apache Group/Apache2/icons/" <Directory "C:/Program Files/Apache Group/Apache2/icons"> Options Indexes MultiViews AllowOverride None Order allow,deny Allow from all </Directory> AliasMatch ^/manual(?:/(?:de|en|es|fr|ja|ko|ru))?(/.*)?$ "C:/Program Files/Apache Group/Apache2/manual$1" <Directory "C:/Program Files/Apache Group/Apache2/manual"> Options Indexes AllowOverride None Order allow,deny Allow from all <Files *.html> SetHandler type-map </Files> SetEnvIf Request_URI ^/manual/(de|en|es|fr|ja|ko|ru)/ prefer-language=$1 RedirectMatch 301 ^/manual(?:/(de|en|es|fr|ja|ko|ru)){2,}(/.*)?$ /manual/$1$2 </Directory> ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ "C:/Program Files/Apache Group/Apache2/cgi-bin/" <Directory "C:/Program Files/Apache Group/Apache2/cgi-bin"> AllowOverride None Options None Order allow,deny Allow from all </Directory> IndexOptions FancyIndexing VersionSort AddIconByEncoding (CMP,/icons/compressed.gif) x-compress x-gzip AddIconByType (TXT,/icons/text.gif) text/* AddIconByType (IMG,/icons/image2.gif) image/* AddIconByType (SND,/icons/sound2.gif) audio/* AddIconByType (VID,/icons/movie.gif) video/* AddIcon /icons/binary.gif .bin .exe AddIcon /icons/binhex.gif .hqx AddIcon /icons/tar.gif .tar AddIcon /icons/world2.gif .wrl .wrl.gz .vrml .vrm .iv AddIcon /icons/compressed.gif .Z .z .tgz .gz .zip AddIcon /icons/a.gif .ps .ai .eps AddIcon /icons/layout.gif .html .shtml .htm .pdf AddIcon /icons/text.gif .txt AddIcon /icons/c.gif .c AddIcon /icons/p.gif .pl .py AddIcon /icons/f.gif .for AddIcon /icons/dvi.gif .dvi AddIcon /icons/uuencoded.gif .uu AddIcon /icons/script.gif .conf .sh .shar .csh .ksh .tcl AddIcon /icons/tex.gif .tex AddIcon /icons/bomb.gif core AddIcon /icons/back.gif ..

Also, a post here http://www.issociate.de/board/goto/1032557/PUT_unavailable_w/_apache_2.0?.html#msg_1032557 shows that we dont need enable DAV module for working with PUT requsets. I am confused. Please suggest. Thanks. --------------------------------------------------------------------- The official User-To-User support forum of the Apache HTTP Server Project.
