webdav installation on IIS7...error 67

Question

User-821689857 posted

Hi: I followed the installation directions for webDAV on IIS7, but the final step:

net use * http://localhost/

returns

System error 67 has occurred.

The network name cannot be found.

I googled error 67 and found some docs related to disabling IP Nat, but they referred to server2003 and I couldn't locate anything for server2008. I'm installing on 2008-RC0, which has both the webserver and domain controller roles installed.

Hi e1ny,

I'm running into the same problem and don't know a solution.  The article http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=105146 shows the error 67 and possible solutions.  I've not been able to workaround this issue, I'm running RC1 Enterprise edition.  I can use Windows XP and add a "New Network Place" and use wedDAV.  Which up until now, I've never messed with WebDAV.  It's pretty cool! 

After I disabled WebDAV, I was no longer able to connect using my Windows XP machine.  I can't connect locally, but remotely works fine, so it's either a bug or a missed step in the instructions.  I've looked over the instructions a few times, tried a few other things like granting anonymous access at the global level, doing an iisreset.

You have not installed the WebDAV Redirector on your system.  I'm assuming this statement is when you "install the WebDAV" module.  I had no issues installing or enabling, this shows the power of extending IIS 7.0.  I'll be curious if others can run the net use command successfully.

One additional test.  I was able to connect to my W2k8 rc1 box using Vista Ultimate RTM with no issues.  The 'mapped' drive looks like DavWWWRoot(\\IPAddress){Z:}.  I didn't map using the net use command, but another feature of mapping drives in Vista.  Hmm...

hmmm...thanks for the help....I read through the directions in the link you provided, and noticed that line about "desktop experience" must be added to the server....I added it, rebooted, and now running "net use * http://localhost/" succeeds on the server. I can browse the default web directory as the "z" drive.

From the LAN, I tried to map the drive on a server 2003 box using the mapping you suggested, \\192.168.1.199 but I'm prompted for a share. "windows requires a share to publish to.please try another location"

If I try \\192.168.1.199\<anything> I get a windows challenge/response, but I then get an error "the folder you added does not appear valid. please choose another".

 Also, trying from a remote location with XPHome, I try to add a network place as http://<publicIPofServer> and it accepts the setting, prompts me to create a shortcut, but doesn't prompt me for a login/pwd or anything else. When I try to open the shortcut, eventually a blank window appears, like it's connected but nothing's there...weird.

So close, yet so far!

Presto!  The desktop experience fixed my remote issue on my Vista box, but not my XP box.  Regarding mapping a drive, you need to use the "Add Network Place", it's under "My Network Places" on XP or 2003   You'll not necessarily mapped a drive like you do with other remote file shares.  I couldn't get the net use * http://192.168.0.91 to work on my XP or 2003 machine, but it works like a charm on Vista.  I would say that is a limitation of XP or 2003 using net use * http://192.168.0.91

 Yes, I've tried to do this (adding a network place), but it doesn't work from the LAN or the internet. I was going to ask if any particular ports need to be open, but I would guess it should work with 80 and 443? If anything else needs to be open let me know.

I'm trying to map the server from an XP Pro client now, and I see the same behavior. I "add a network place" and enter "http://<publicIPAddressofServer>", and there is no login prompt or warning and the server appears in "My Network Places". But if I double-click the shortcut, all that happens is a blank window opens up.

With regard to the installation notes, it mentions that you need to use https with basic authentication, but it's not clear how one would do this. When I try to add a network place with "https://<publicIPAddressofServer>", I get the same error I received on the LAN: "The folder you entered does not appear to be valid. Please choose another."

What am I missing? 

Do I need to create a share as well?

Zoiks! That was the answer...I needed to create a share, and I gave "administrator" access to it. When I tried to add the network place like:

http://<serverIP>/sharedFolder

I was prompted to windows authenticate, and with the proper credentials, the share was created! Whew...I sure wish there was more straightforward documentation on this.

Now it remains to be seen if this will work better than FTP with Visual Web Developer.

OK, one last issue.

I have several websites on this server, besides the default website. I wanted grant access to "websiteB", so I shared the folder, added the authorization rules to the website, and then added a network share like:

 http://<serverIP>/websiteB

I authenticated, but when I opened the website, the default website root opened instead... do I need to create an alias/shortcut of each directory and put it in the default web root? Or do I need to create a virtual directory in the default root pointing to the root of websiteB?

Answer 8

User-821689857 posted

OK, one last issue.

I guess I was a little overly optimistic there....

With the network place added to my XP Pro computer, I found no way to use VWD's copy feature to copy from my local web project to the mapped folder on the server.

Instead I tried to drag-copy from the local project folder to the mapped server folder. This worked for most of the files, but I can't copy the web.config, App_Data or any code-behind files with a ".VB" extension.

User1073881637 posted

You shouldn't have to create a share, I didn't, but I guess you can :)  I just went the ip address (http://192.168.0.91) and the root folder showed up.

If you followed the article, you have to enable WebDAV on each top-level site along with the appropriate authorization rules.

Hi: I thought I made it clear in my post that I did exactly that...the only thing I can add is that I'm using host-redirection and not binding each website to a different IP...but I'll try again just to be sure.
 

But, my main concern is that I can't figure out how to use WebDAV within the context of VWD...I'll post to asp.net and see if they have an answer. 

Also, I'm not sure why I can't copy files like .VB or web.config...that effectively kills it for my purposes unless there's a workaround/permissions issue I'm missing.

Can you explain your 'host-redirection'?  Do you mean you setup another 'top-level' site in IIS that redirects to your 'DefaultSite/Vdir'?

 + I'm not sure why you can't copy .VB and / or config files.   I'll see if I can reproduce the issue.

Hmm.  I'm not having any luck either, so you aren't going crazy. I wasn't able to copy a blank file called web.config or a folder named App_Code along with a blank file called test.vb.  I even tried to create the App_Code folder and it bombed.  I looked in the WebDAV schema and don't see a rule blocking this stuff.  I did try enabling 'Allow Access to hidden files'.  No dice.   However, I did an iisreset, I was able to create the App_Code folder, but still couldn't copy my test.vb.  I even get an error for App_Code when I click on it like something on the machine deleted it.  Here are my IIS logs showing activity.  Guess we'll need an MS person to confirm whats up.

 oh boy, I'm making this way too complicated. I just mean that I have multiple websites all bound to the same IP...I should have said "host headers".

Answer 15

User-821689857 posted

I would think it's some kind protective measure to prevent overwriting the web.config file, which is enabling webdav's authentication mode?

 

Answer 16

User1073881637 posted

Hehe!  I just created a secondary site that was host-headered, I enabled webdav, granted the 'Administrator' user and was able to access remotely.  I typed net use * http://testwebdav.domain.com (this is my host-headered site name).  There was no issues. So instead of using the ip address, use the domain name.  Since this is an HTTP request, IIS will know how to treat the request I believe.

DOH! That works! I've been working too long on this, methinks :o

User1073881637 posted

You're probably right. :)   It looks like we can explain everything that is going on except for the net use * http://IPAddress from an XP and 2003 machine, which up until working with WebDAV, I didn't know you could type net use * ADDRESS and the OS (probably Vista) would pick an open drive letter. :-S. 

Answer 20

User1138193213 posted

Howdy, sorry for jumping on the thread so late - I've been enjoying my vacation over the holidays... ;-)

That being said, I wanted to point out some differences between the WebDAV redirector that's built-in to Windows XP and Windows Server 2003 when compared with the WebDAV redirector in Windows Vista and Windows Server 2008.

The WebDAV redirector that's built-in to Windows XP and Windows Server 2003 did not like mapping to the root of a site, e.g. http://localhost/, that version always wanted to use a path underneath the root, e.g. http://localhost/subpath/. This was an unfortunate design decision that I've always understood to be an artifact of normal drive mapping to \\server\share paths.

The WebDAV redirector in Windows Vista and Windows Server 2008 does not have this limitation. :-]

So you may see different behavior when using the WebDAV redirector on different versions of Windows.

Answer 21

User-1585959952 posted

Hi Robert,

Thanks for your explanation on this, I was completely stuck with why my http://localhost/ mapping was failing although http://localhost/WebDAV/ was working fine on my Windows 2003 machine.

Having said that, is there a resource site that I can download the latest version of Mini redirector, so I can use the one without this limitation.

The reason I want to use http://localhost/ was because I noticed that Mini redirector sends OPTIONS and PROPFIND requests to my server code when I use "net use * http://localhost/WebDAV/", which is fine except that OPTIONS use "/", but PROPFIND uses "WebDAV/" as the request path.

I was told by another engineer that this "OPTIONS gets sent to the root path" is a bug, and that's why I want to test it against http://localhost/, but now you're saying it's not possible in Windows 2003.

So, I am pretty much stuck here.  I think the only solution right now would be to download the latest WebDAV Mini redirector.

Thanks in advance.
