I've configured a local WebDAV server on my machine at http://localhost/dav/org.
I'm new to mobile org as I just got my first mobile device. To be
honest, I didn't find the setup instructions that intuitive, but I'm
also no apache/WebDAV expert either! I any case, I used the Arch Linux
wiki to setup apache and WebDAV, mounted my server at /mnt/dav,
created /mnt/dav/org and changed permissions to my username and the
"users" group and used org-mobile-push to push to it. Everything seems
to be working nicely.
I can visit http://localhost/dav/org and see the structure with all my
files, agenda.org, index.org, and checksums.dat.
When I use mobile org, I get the error:
-----
Error occurred during sync: An error occurred attempting to fetch the
url http://ip-address/dav/org/checksums.dat: invalid username or
password.
-----
If I enter the same username and password from a browser... it works.
And that's true either of my computer or the tablet. I can view
checksums.dat in a browser on the tablet.
What am I missing?
Thanks!
John

Well, I've made progress. I just turned off the webdav user/password
stuff and it worked fine. I'm not really worried about that, as it's
within the corporate firewall, but it still puzzles me that a browser
on the tablet could access the path with a user and password prompt
but MobileOrg couldn't, despite being setup with the same information.
Thanks for any suggestions,
John

Have you tried turning the webdav authentication back on and
connecting to the dav share with cadaver, the command-line webdav
client? That's what I used to test my MobileOrg staging setup (though
now I use the ssh backend rather than webdav).

When it was enabled, I tested it with cadaver. That was the only way I
knew I'd set up WebDAV correctly since I have no experience with it :)
The Arch Wiki had a section on testing and so I persisted until
successful. So, yes, confusing -- cadaver worked, the browser on the
host worked after inputting username/password into a popup, and the
same for the browser on the tablet. Only org-mobile said it couldn't
access the checksum.dat file.
Thanks for the suggestion,
John
