Connecting to WebDAV with davfs2

Posted by Wim Koorenneef on 2009-03-01 08:05 CET

Some time ago I wrote about using fusedav to connect to a webdav server. For some reason I could only read from the server. Writing always resulted in an error.

Today I used davfs2 for the first time and writing is working like a charm. Configuration is a little bit of work however. First I installed davfs2 via apt-get, then I ran dpkg-reconfigure to make davfs2 run suid as root. The last step involved an entry in /etc/fstab and creating a directory in /media. Also make sure you are a member of the davfs2 group.

sudo apt-get install davfs2

Renew SSL certificate for Dovecot

Posted by Wim Koorenneef on 2009-02-21 21:04 CET

For some reason Dovecot started to complain about an expired ssl certificate. Well, actually my mail client thunderbird complained. In order to renew the certificate I used the following commands:
openssl genrsa -out server.key 1024
openssl req -new -x509 -key server.key -out server.pem -days 1826
cp server.key /etc/ssl/private/ssl-cert-snakeoil.key
cp server.pem /etc/ssl/certs/ssl-cert-snakeoil.pem


The important bit while creating the certificate is the common name. Fill in localhost or your server's domain name.
