I am setting up a new server and I’m trying to avoid installing  
Apache. All of our sites will be running mongrel\_clusters through  
nginx and our SVN will be accessible via svn+ssh. The only piece I  
haven’t been able to figure out is how to set up a Dav using Nginx.  
There is a module named NginxHttpDavModule which I installed with  
Nginx. The documentation for the module is here:  
[http://wiki.codemongers.com/NginxHttpDavModule](http://wiki.codemongers.com/NginxHttpDavModule)

I have been playing around with the configuration for a while and I  
haven’t been able to get the Dav to work at all. I can’t find any  
evidence that anybody else has been able to get this working. If you  
have set this up before, I would love to see the Dav entry in your  
server configuration.

Thanks,  
-Seth

It seems we both meet the same problem.  
It doesn’t work and I don’t know why, the log says 405 forbidden.  
Also, I’ve tried Apache2 mod\_dav, but I cannot ls a directory while  
can vi a file.
