Apache Phrasebook

No such file or directory: A lock database was not specified with the DAVLockDB directive. One must be specified to use the locking functionality. [500, #401]

If you find a message similar to this, it means that you need to provide a DavLockDB directive in the configuration file, as shown:

DAVLockDB /usr/local/apache/var/DAVLock

If the directive is specified, but the directory containing the lock file cannot be written to, you will get a message similar to the following:

The lock database could not be opened, preventing access to the various lock properties for the PROPFIND. [500, #0]

Fix the permissions so the path of the DavLockDB directive has write permission for the user Apache runs as.
