</div></div>Consider one of the following:<br>
<br>
1) Apache with mod_dav_svn (pro: uses Subversion to provide versioning<br>
of your files, con: uses Subversion, which might be overkill for what<br>
you need, also, multi-machine access may be a bit wonky)<br>
2) OwnCloud (a KDE project, exposing WebDav data) (pro: It's a set of<br>
PHP scripts, which means you probably will be able to deploy it<br>
anywhere, con: relatively new to the game, not all proxies will permit<br>
the extended requests needed for WebDav, doesn't give you any version<br>
control)<br>
3) Horde's Gollem module, which provides webdav, XMLRPC and a full<br>
HTTP interface (pro: Horde is pretty rock solid, having WebDav as well<br>
as XMLRPC access should get you over most hurdles, and where it<br>
doesn't, you've got HTTP access, It also has "drivers" for SQL based<br>
storage, FTP, SSH, or local file system access which means you can<br>
pretty much use any back-end you want as well con: Horde is a bit of a<br>
bugger to configure, and Gollem will take some tweaking as well.)<br>
<br>
None of these will be a drop-in replacement, but they are all things<br>
I've toyed with in the past.<br>
<br>
Hope that helps!<br>
