I'm having permissions issues with setting up webdav in IIS
6. I haven't found a good tutorial anywhere that
illustrates exactly how to configure IIS 6 and webdav. I
found a tutorial on Macromedia's site that showed how to
setup IIS 5 with webdav. That setup bascially had me set
up a second IIS website devoted to handling WebDAV requests
(http://www.macromedia.com/support/ultradev/ts/documents/webdav_ud.htm).
I'm an administrator on the web server and we're using AD.
For some reason I can't connect using webdav, it keeps
saying it's unable to connect to the webdav server. I do
have webdav enabled in IIS6. I can connect if I turn on
anonymous access in the webdav set on IIS, but I don't
want that. I only want people with valid AD credentials to
authenticate. Any help, tips, or links to good resources
would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance,
John

The way I configured the site is having two sites setup,
one for regular web connections (http://ipaddress:81/) and
the other for webdav connections (http://ipaddress:82/). I
then created a virtual directory named "webdav" in the
regular site. In Dreamweaver I configured the webdav
connection by setting the webdav URL to
http://ipaddress:81/webdav. When I tried to connect with
this setting, I got this error:

An error occured - cannot open remote folder /webdav/.
Unable to authenticate with WebDAV server.

When I tried to configure Dreamweaver to make the webdav
connection to the actual webdav site http://ipaddress:82/
it gave me this error:

An error ocuured - connot get remote folder information.
Unable to authenticate with WebDAV server.

Have you set the properties correctly on the cirtual
directory?

What messages are you seeing in the Event Log?
