[users@httpd] Apache, mod_dav, and Expression Web

I hope someone can help me with a most frustrating problem! I am trying
to get Microsoft Expression Web or (if that fails) Frontpage working
with webdav in Apache 2.2.9. (aside, WHY didn't Microsoft put in
support for sFTP or FTP-SSL?)

I believe (!) that I have Webdav properly setup. At least, cadaver and
Dreamweaver are able to connect, get and put file, etc. However,
Frontpage and Expression Web have problems: mainly I get back a "301
Document moved" error, or "X is not a directory."

The current setup has multiple virtual domains served off a single IP,
using apache2-mmp-prefork. I have a domain, authoring.y.z, to use as a
host.

<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerAdmin   web@(protected)
ServerName    authoring.x.y
DocumentRoot   /var/www/docroot/x.y/pages
ErrorLog     /var/log/apache2/authoring.x.y-error.log
CustomLog     /var/log/apache2/authoring.x.y-access.log combined

      <Directory /var/www/docroot/x.y/pages>
      Dav      On
      AuthType   Digest
      AuthName   authoring.x.y
      AuthUserFile /var/www/docroot/digestusers
      <LimitExcept OPTIONS>
      Require   valid-user
      </LimitExcept>
      </Directory>

</VirtualHost>

I have also tried numerous permutations: using 443 and SSL with Authtype
Basic, playing with the path in <Directory>, and so on. These have not
helped.


I can't imagine that I'm the only one using Apache2 trying to support
Expression Web. Am I doing something stupid, or is there a problem in
either mod_dav(fs) or Expression Web? I would greatly appreciate any tips.

Jeff
