Question:
How do I download and configure cadaver for Unix and Linux to connect to the Web Hosting service?
Answer:
-
Download cadaver from DAV's WebDAV Resources page (http://www.webdav.org/cadaver/).
-
Download and install the latest version of OpenSSL. Go to OpenSSL's OpenSSL Tarballs page (http://www.openssl.org/source/).
Follow these basic steps for installation:
-
tar zxvf [Name of OpenSSL tar file]
-
cd [Version of OpenSSL]
-
./config --prefix=/usr/local/openssl shared
-
make && make install
-
/usr/local/openssl/bin/openssl version
-
At the shell prompt, enter: export CPPFLAGS="-I/[Location of Your **installed** OpenSSL Folder]/include"
Note: Replace [Location of Your **installed** OpenSSL Folder] with the location to which you downloaded OpenSSL. The default location is /usr/local/openssl/include.
-
Enter: export LDFLAGS="-L/[Location of Your **installed** OpenSSL Folder]/lib"
Note: Replace [Location of Your **installed** OpenSSL Folder] with the location to which you downloaded OpenSSL. The default location is /usr/local/openssl/lib.
-
Enter: gunzip -c [Name of cadaver Download File] | tar xvf -
-
Enter: cd [Version of cadaver]
Note: Replace [Version of cadaver] with the version of cadaver that you downloaded.
Example: cadaver-0.22.1
-
Enter: ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/ --with-ssl
-
Enter: make
-
Enter: make install
-
Enter: export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=[Location of Your **installed** OpenSSL Folder]/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
Notes:
-
Replace [Location of Your **installed** OpenSSL Folder] with the location to which you downloaded OpenSSL. The default location is LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/openssl/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH.
-
Run "cadaver -- version" to verify the right version of cadaver and OpenSSL.
