HELP:Frame 7 doc mngt needs DAV, hard to set up

[Joseph Woodard <jwoodard@xxxxxxxx>]

Who can help me understand how to set up a WEBDAV service so I can
use Frame 7 built-in document management facilities?

Here's the problem:

I've installed Apache binary 2.0.39 on Windows 98 Rel 2
and, natively installed, it starts and works OK.
Then I modified the httpd.conf file to load the included
mod_dav service by uncommenting the line

LoadModule dav_module modules/mod_dav.so

The server starts without trouble.
But as soon as I activate the DAV service with the simple
directives in httpd.conf:

<Location />
DAV On
</Location>
DAVLockDB c:/temp/DAVLock

the apache server encounters a segmentation violation on startup and fails.

If I fetch the most recently available binary of 'mod_dav' for Win32
(mod_dav 1.0.3) and the latest required 'expat' (ver 1.2 for Win32) and
follow installation instructions by placing the following files in
directories containing shared Win library files:

mod_dav.dll (installed in Apache's $SERVER_ROOT/modules)
xmlparse.dll
xmltok.dll

and load that mod_dav service with the directive

LoadModule dav_module modules/mod_dav.dll

then apache complains that a shared library required by mod_dav.dll
isn't found and the server fails. The successive 'DAV On' and 'DAVLockDB'
statements fails because the DAV service isn't running.

It would seem the mod_dav library included with the Win32 binary distribution
of the Apache 2.0 web server has a bug.

What can I do to include a DAV service with my Apache 2.0 server on Win 98?

Thanks,
