Hi,
I have configured WebDAV with Apache2 on a Ubuntu machine using the mods
dav, dav_fs and dav_lock.
Connecting to WebDAV folders works fine, from both Windows and Linux
clients. Even writing, modifying and deleting documents is possible.
Then only problem is when I try to save documents from Microsoft Word
2016 into a WebDAV folder. Word first creates an empty file on the server, but then following
error appears:
"There has been a network or file permission error. The network
connection may be lost"
Apache error.log:
| Code: | Could not DELETE /pinakos/admin/66AEE86C.tmp due to a failed
precondition (e.g. locks). [423, #0]
This resource is locked and an "If:" header was not supplied to allow
access to the resource. [423, #0]
Could not MOVE /pinakos/admin/6A71E678.tmp due to a failed precondition
on the source (e.g. locks). [424, #0]
An error occurred on another resource, preventing the requested
operation on this resource. [424, #0]
Could not DELETE /pinakos/admin/6A71E678.tmp due to a failed
precondition (e.g. locks). [423, #0]
This resource is locked and an "If:" header was not supplied to allow
access to the resource. [423, #0] |
Virtual host (excerpt):
| Code: | Alias /pinakos/admin /var/www/webdav/pinakos/admin
<Directory /var/www/webdav/pinakos/admin>
DAV On
AuthType Digest
AuthName "webdav"
AuthUserFile /etc/apache2/users.password
Require valid-user
</Directory>
<Location /pinakos/admin>
Require user admin
</Location> |
www-data has rw permissions for /var/www as well for the DavLock file.
Best regards,
Christian |

Hi Christian,
this is a bug from word. The same error appears also with webDAV on IIS. On IIS there is an option to disable the lock file. But then the last user who clicks on save wins.
Apache offers a central lock file DavLockDB [1]
I haven't tried it, but maybe it works for you. Otherwise do as I did and mount the webdav as a network folder and copy the file you want to edit with word to a working directry and after editing copy it back to the wevdav.
This is not a webDAV issue but a bug in Word.
