Hi Becky,

I tried it straight away:
directory=D:\Webdav\
directory=D:/Webdav/

Didn't work, in both cases the same error "fshandler:get_data: \Webdav not 
found".

I have the opinion that my WebDAV installation is at fault. The database is 
not created either.
To have set up Python, I used python-2.7.2.msi.
To install WebDAV, I used PyWebDAV-0.9.4.1 and PyXML-0.8.4 packages, both 
Unix/Linux.
To install the, I used

Shall I reïnstall the whole lot? Would it make a difference if in that case 
I would use ActivePython-2.7.2.5-win32-x86.msi instead of python-2.7.2.msi?
