Unable to mount whent server on port 8080

[Oscar Picasso]

Hi,

I have compiled dafs-2.0.2.2 from source with a  2.4.18-19.8.0 kernel.

If do
mount.davfs http://test.webdav.org/dav /mnt/dav/
it works fine: i can read and write.

On the other hand I have webdav server that listen on port 8080. The directory I try to mount is world readable, writable and updatable.

I try a webdav client like OpenOffice I just do:
File > Open > http://my-server:8080/cocoon/webdav/test3/
it works fine. I can read, edit and add content in http://my-server:8080/cocoon/webdav/test3/.

However I am unable to mount this same folder. I think I miss something in the command line.

Here are the following attempts:

# mount.davfs  http://myserver:8080/cocoon/webdav/ /mnt/dav
Could not connect to `myserver' on port 8080:
Could not connect to server: Connection refused

# mount.davfs  http://myserver/cocoon/webdav/ -o proxy=http-proxy:8080 /mnt/dav
Mount point is not an absolute directory

# mount.davfs -o proxy=http-proxy:8080  http://myserver/cocoon/webdav/ /mnt/dav
Mount point is not an absolute directory

# mount.davfs http://myserver/cocoon/webdav/ /mnt/dav -o proxy=http-proxy:8080
Could not resolve hostname `http-proxy': Host not foundWebDAV Server error

Connection refused generally means that there is no program listening on that port.
The first command line looks correct. Maybe you have a typo in the server name?
