Hi 

I recently set up webdav on Apache on a Raspberry pi 4, hoping to edit Tiddlywikis across a simple home network. Enabling webdav seemed to work OK, and I can read and write files using other applications that support webdav. When I try to save a Tiddlywiki over http, however, I get a "file changed on server" message popup which I havent seen before. I've searched this forum and others for clues, but unless I'm missing something really obvious, I'm no further forward in pin-pointing the issue. Has anyone else seen this and if so, any advice you could offer as to the likely problem would be greatly appreciated

regards

Dave

Hi Dave,

It's probably a problem with etag settings and server side compression.

See this post: https://groups.google.com/d/msg/tiddlywiki/a3Ihi9W2hlk/jVgJi_7ZAQAJ and also read the rest of the thread. It may contain other links that should be able to help you, if the post isn't enough.

have fun!

Brilliant Mario

addition of

<VirtualHost *:80>
......
     <Directory /var/www/webdav>
     ............
     FileEtag None
     </Directory>
</VirtualHost>

in the Apache .conf , and saving over webdav now works

Many thanks for the pointer.

Dave
