Errrrrrr...

[Wed Nov 01 22:33:32 2006] [error] [client 127.0.0.1] (21)Is a directory: Could not open property database.  [500, #1]

So, we fix that.

wouter@country:~$ sudo rmdir /var/lock/davlock
wouter@country:~$ touch /var/lock/davlock
wouter@country:~$ sudo chown www-data:www-data /var/lock/davlock

That should fix it, right? Wrong.

[Wed Nov 01 22:34:15 2006] [error] [client 127.0.0.1] (20)Not a directory: Could not open property database.  [500, #1]

Right.

The fun bit about this is, I was having issues with a mod_dav installation where the authentication was being done by mod_auth_kerb. Which at first wasn't possible because of #395931, but luckily there was a workaround. But then, that approach was not without its share of issues, either:

[Wed Nov 01 21:15:03 2006] [error] [client 192.168.0.101] configuration error: couldn't check access. No groups file?: /

Oh well, stuff it then. I'll use a different way to get this done.
