libapache2-mod-dnssd setup for WebDAV ZeroConf

WebDAV Nav+ includes the ability to locate WebDAV shares on the local network using Bonjour/ZeroConf

In order to configure your Apache virtual host to be advertised by ZeroConf you need to install mod_dnssd

• Install mod_dnssd

  apt-get install libapache2-mod-dnssd

• Add a "Location" section to your virtual host declaration

  <VirtualHost *:80>
  .
  .
  .
  <Location /dav>
    DNSSDServiceName "WebDAV Folder"
    DNSSDServiceTypes _webdav._tcp
  </Location>
  .
  .
  .
  </VirtualHost> 
                    

• Confirm that mod_dnssd is enabled in the configuration /etc/apache2/mods-enabled/mod-dnssd.conf

  a2enmod mod-dnssd
