404 Error With WebDAV but Not Via File

[Kevin Kleinfelter]

I'm getting 

syncer-browser-tiddlyweb - 17:03:04 22 6 2019

XMLHttpRequest error code: 404

and

syncer-browser-tiddlyweb - 17:03:06 22 6 2019

Sync error while processing '$:/StoryList': XMLHttpRequest error code: 404

when I serve my TW5 via WebDAV.  But when I access the SAME file via file:// I do not get errors.

Any suggestions as to how I might solve this?

tnx

I should add that I got this .html file by doing a 'wget' to download the .html file from a Node.js TiddlyWiki.  i.e. I'm trying to convert a wiki from Node.js to WebDAV.

Hi,

You should use the standard "Save" button, to download the TW as a file.

Hi,

There are 2 plugins, that are needed for the node-tw.

http://localhost:8080/#%24%3A%2Fplugins%2Ftiddlywiki%2Ftiddlyweb:%24%3A%2Fplugins%2Ftiddlywiki%2Ftiddlyweb%20%24%3A%2Fplugins%2Ftiddlywiki%2Ffilesystem

You can try to disable them for webdav use.

Hi,

How does your tiddlywiki.info file look like?

Using the standard save button seems to have cured it.

If you want to test your WebDAV server as a filesystem with windows, you want to map it as a drive to access it. When you use file:// in the browser, you aren't testing the WebDAV server, just your local hard drive.

To map a WebDAV server on Windows (7, 8, 9, or 10) ...

• Open the windows file manager
• Choose Map a Network Drive (under Home -> Easy access -> map as drive)
• Enter the base URL (https://server.domain.dom/dav) for the WebDAV (same as you used in tiddlywiki but without the filename)
• Check Connect using different credentials
• Use the credentials for the webdav server

If the WebDav server is working properly, you should see it as a mapped drive and be able to use file explorer to read/write files.
