Note: This feature is only available in 3.6 and higher.
With WebDAV you can mount the Group-Office files as a network share on your desktop. First you must determine the baseURI.
Server Installation
If you didn't install with the Debian packages don't have to install anything. Everything is configured by default.
Ideally your Apache webserver is configured with an alias
Alias /webdav /path/to/groupoffice/modules/dav/files.php
In this case your baseURI is:
https://your.url.to.groupoffice/webdav/
Otherwise the URL will not work on Windows and it's:
https://your.url.to.groupoffice/modules/dav/files.php/
The WebDAV feature is based on SabreDAV. You can find more information about clients on that page too.
Installation when PHP runs in CGI mode
If you use PHP through CGI or FastCGI and Apache authentication headers are not passed through by default. You can enable this with the following mod_rewrite rule:
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule .* - [E=HTTP_AUTHORIZATION:%{HTTP:Authorization},L]
</IfModule>
If you already had a mod_rewrite rule to map all urls to a server file, you might need to change this to something like:
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule .* /modules/caldav/calendar.php [E=HTTP_AUTHORIZATION:%{HTTP:Authorization},L]
</IfModule>
Note the /modules/caldav/calendar.php. Make sure this reflects the correct relative URL of your server file.
Windows
Use the URL above and follow the instructions here:
http://code.google.com/p/sabredav/wiki/Windows
Davfs2
Make sure "davfs2" is installed.
Create a mount point as root:
mkdir /media/groupoffice/
Add to /etc/davfs2/davfs2.conf (See https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/davfs2/+bug/459998):
ignore_home kernoops
Add your user to the davfs2 group in /etc/group. Find the line with davfs2 and append your user name like this:
davfs2:x:130:username
Add this line to /etc/fstab:
https://your.url.to.groupoffice/modules/dav/files.php/ /media/groupoffice davfs user,noauto,rw 0 0
Then, add the following line to /etc/davfs2/secrets:
https://your.url.to.groupoffice/modules/dav/files.php/ username mypassword
Now run:
chmod u+s /sbin/mount.davfs
Now you can mount the drive with the file manager or on the terminal as the normal user:
mount /media/groupoffice/
And you should be able to browse your Group-Office files.
