Ok, there is a difference when i’m access the SVN with my Browser.
By my old apache SVN i receive a html listing like:
Revision 11964: /
branches/
tags/
trunk/

Now, in my nginx html listing i receive:
conf/
dav/
db/
hooks/
locks/
README.txt
format

Is this normal?!
I’m still searching a solution. :(
I need the SVN for developing my projects…

If i connect via Browser to my SVN, it seems all work fine,
but when i try to checkout the repository with Eclipse/Aptana by using Subversion, i get the following error:
svn: The VCC property was not found on the resource.

Did anyone know, how can i fix it?! :s

hi again!

I’ve tried everything, but with Gnome’s built-in connect to webdav is does not work at all.

I’ve changed the $_ENV to getenv as Olivier advised, but I still get an error as the following:

PHP Notice: Undefined index: REQUEST_METHOD in /home/webportfolio.hu/webprogs/nginx-webdav-ext
.php on line 276

The nginx config is OK, it’s nearly the same as you posted.

Did anyone experienced this as well?

Neat tricks, but especially useful. Also, I learned again that nginx can be used in a real hardcore way as well. Thanks!

Nice tricks, thank you. They work well with Nginx 1.0.6.

Great wrapper, thanks.

Hey, thanks for this script. Works very well after the replace of $_ENV['blah'] by getenv(‘blah’) mention by Oliver. I just had to add this:

‘ics’ => ‘text/calendar’,

to the mime-types. Now i can sync my calendar with Thunderbird + Lightning over WebDAV :-)

I’m sorry, the blog has removed my tags :(
I posted my message here: http://pastebin.com/zQh2rPmr and I also corrected my typo: getnev()/getenv().

Thanks Jason, everything works well with some little modifications.
My server running nginx is a Debian Squeeze with all the last updates.
So, in the PHP scrip, I had to change all the $_ENV['blah'] by getnev(‘blah’) (BTW, there’s a “$ENV_['OVERWRITE']“, I guess it’s a typo and you meant “$_ENV['OVERWRITE']” ?)

Then, I needed this webdav server to publish my Outlook (2007 and 2010) calendars and somehow it wasn’t working out of the box. So, in the PHP script, I had to change all the foo by foo.
There’s also two “xmlns=”DAV:”" which must be replaced by “xmlns:D=”DAV:”"

So, now it’s working but I’ve found out that Outlook sucks: if I publish a calendar from my Outlook, I can retrieve it on another Outlook. But I can’t sync them together. The retrieved calendar will be read only…
So I did all that for nothing, but I’m sharing it here and maybe it’ll help someone else?
