How can configure OpenOlat, so that it shows the correct URL to webdav? Webdav works fine, just the generate path does not contain the context path, on which

OpenOlat was configured. For example:

Openolat: https://myhost.de/openolat

Working Webdav UR: https://myhost.de/openolat/webdav

Generated URL: https://myhost.de/webdav

I configured the properties server.legacy.context=/openolat

But it has no effect to Webdav URL.

Hi

I open an issue with it: https://jira.openolat.org/browse/OO-2656

But for better compatibility with Windows, we recommend to deploy OpenOLAT as root.

Best regards

Thanks for your feedback. Unfortunately we don't have any windows server. We just have Linux Server, and the situation will not change in long term. Well, I'm pleased with the linux box and OO plays well with the Penguin too :)

You are missunderstanding Stéphane’s answer: he does not recommend you using a Windows server (actually we recommend NOT using a Windows server as OpenOLAT is not tested in a Windows environment and some file based operations are known not to work when using a Windows server).

However, when you want to fully support your Windows CLIENTS, E.x. XP, Windows 8 or 10, then you should run OpenOLAT in the ROOT context of your application server. This is because when you use the Windows native WebDAV client to mount OpenOLAT via WebDAV, Windows will run many WebDAV requests on the / of your server (/ = the ROOT context). If you are running OpenOLAT under a context path, e.g. /openolat/, then OpenOLAT can not respond to those queries and the Windows client might give up and can not connect.

This is the case for some versions and settings. Thus, to achieve best compatibility with Windows CLIENTS, you are advised to deploy OpenOLAT in the ROOT context.

Cheers

Florian
