Problems with WebDav

Hello all,

I have have a problem getting WebDav working. Here is what I have
setup:
Under IIS I have a website, and under that website I created a virtual
directory under the site called webdav.
Under the Virtual Directory tab for webdav properties I have read,
write, directory browsing, log visits, index this resouce check.
Everything else is default

Under permissions for the folder in inetpub/wwwroot I have a local
user account with the following permissions:
Read & Execute
List folder contents
Read
Write
The Internet Gues Account has no permissions, and the IIS_WPG has Read
& Execute, List folder contenets, and read.

Under the web shareing tab I enabled Share this folder and created an
aliases that points to the folder.
The Access Permissions for the Alias are Read, Write, and Directory
browsing.
Application permissions are Scripts

The WebDav extions is allowed under IIS

Every time I open up internet exploer and go to File --> Open and type
in //ipaddress/webdav it will list the folder contents but if I check
that box "Open as Web Folder" I get HTTP 405 Method Not Allowed:
Most likely cause:
The website has a programming error.

Any help would be greatly appreacited

Thank You

Eric

Re: Problems with WebDav

Don't use a virtual directory for that. Use a real directory or a whole web
site.

WebDav hooks into IIS at a layer below at where the virtual directories are
handled.

I use virtual directories to hide files from users of FrontPage (which uses
WebDav) all the time. I have never once had one manage to get at files in a
VirDir with it, so I assume it's not possible.

The directions I have found all say to use a virutal directory.
http://www.windowsnetworking.com/articles_tutorials/WebDAV-I IS.html
That is the main guide I have been following. I have tried others but
nothing is working.

Can someone point to to a working guide or tell me what I did wrong in
my setup above?

Thanks

Eric
