S.O.S :) How can I upload an entire folder?

Monday 07 August 2006 12:56:09 am

Hi all,

I need some urgent help:
After overiding some tpl files and getting the desired look - I'm in the stage of filling the real content to my site which functions as intranet site.
The problem is that I got a huge number of files and folders and I would like to know if there is a quick and efficient way to upload an entire folder with all its corresponding sub-folders and files in one time. Instead of creating manualy each one of the folders in its right place in the hierarchical tree + creating each one of the files...

I would really appreciate any help,
Thanks in advance,
Roy

Thanks Paul for the quick response!

I tried to read the documentation about this feature.
Before I try to fix it on my system I want to know if I understand you correctly -
From the webdav if I upload from the local machine a folder which contains subfolders and files, then all these subfolders and files will automatically be created and uploaded?

By the way - I used the windows installer to install the Exponential on my server and now I'm trying to enable the webdav. Is there any help regarding the installation besides the documentation (which is very short and no detailed) ?

Thanks again
Roy

Hi Paul,

First of all I would like to say that I really appriciate your quick response again - thanks a lot!
Unfortunatly I did not get any results... :(
I tried to follow the "Setting it up" instructions + add the snippet you attached but when I get to the final stage of testing it - it does not work.
These are my steps:

1) Installing Exponential with the <i> windows installer</i>.
2) Enabling the WebDAV server - I changed the following lines straight in "webdav.ini" (no overide) :

[GeneralSettings]
EnableWebDAV=true

3) Adding the desired siteaccesses : (I just added the last line "SiteList[]=webdav" , don't know if it's enough)

[SiteSettings]
SiteList[]
SiteList[]=webdav

4) Configure the web server. this is my Exponential.conf which is located in- C:\Exponential\apache\conf\Exponential.conf

# Enable rewrite rules
LoadModule rewrite_module modules/mod_rewrite.so
AddModule mod_rewrite.c

<VirtualHost *>
<Directory "c:\Exponential\Exponential">
Options FollowSymLinks Indexes ExecCGI
AllowOverride All
</Directory>
DocumentRoot "c:\Exponential\Exponential"

RewriteEngine On
# For all known data directories we let Apache serve it directly
Rewriterule ^/var/storage/.*                                                    - [L]
Rewriterule ^/var/[^/]+/storage/.*                                              - [L]
RewriteRule ^/var/cache/texttoimage/.*                                          - [L]
RewriteRule ^/var/[^/]+/cache/texttoimage/.*                                    - [L]
Rewriterule ^/design/[^/]+/(stylesheets|images|javascript)/.*                   - [L]
Rewriterule ^/share/icons/.*                                                    - [L]
Rewriterule ^/extension/[^/]+/design/[^/]+/(stylesheets|images|javascripts?)/.* - [L]
Rewriterule ^/packages/styles/.*                                                - [L]

# Compatability with 3.3 and lower


RewriteRule ^/kernel/setup/packages/.*                                          - [L]

# If not PHP should serve the page
#Rewriterule .* /index.php
Rewriterule .* /webdav.php


ServerName localhost
</VirtualHost>

as you can see I add in the end the line : Rewriterule .* /webdav.php instead of #Rewriterule .* /index.php

5) Now I try to open it from the IE browser : File->open : http://prod/ and checking the Open as webfolder check box. (http://prod/ is the url which leads to homepage of the user_intranet_site)
but I get the following message:
Internet explorer could not open http://prod/ as a webfolder.

What have I done wrong?

Thanks in advance

Hi Xavier,

1) I couldn't find any file with the naem webdav.log - what should I look for in the siteaccess folder?
2) How do I create a new subdomain webdav.domain.com ?

Currently if I understood correctly - I have two sites : intranet_site and intranet_site_admin.
They are located on some machine in my network called "Prod" so right now if I write in the address bar "http://prod" from any other machine in the network it takes me to the Intranet_site login page. and if I write "http://prod/intranet_site_admin" it takes me to the admin login page.
so acctually I have 2 siteaccesses ?
and what should I do next - create a 3rd siteaccess for the webdav?

Thanks again
Roy

Hi,

No, you shouldn't create a 3rd siteaccess. You should create a new sub domain name and associate it with the configuration you described.

On linux, that's a few seconds process to create new domain names and modif the config files of apache for that. It shouldn't be much more complicated do to that on windows.
