I can't seem to get it to work for some reason. As you can probably tell from the error_log extract below, i keep pulling up error 500s from my web server. Here's my error log: [Mon Jan 5 14:32:38 2004] [error] [client 127.0.0.1] The locks could not be queried for verification against a possible "If:" header. [500, #0] [Mon Jan 5 14:32:38 2004] [error] [client 127.0.0.1] Could not open the lock database. [500, #400] [Mon Jan 5 14:32:38 2004] [error] [client 127.0.0.1] (13)Permission denied: I/O error occurred. [500, #1] Any help's appreciated Thanks

  Hi, I was having the same problem and several hours went by before I finally got it working.
  
  The directory specified in the DAVLockDB directive must have owner and group set to "www" :
  
  # excerpt from httpd.conf file
  ...
  DAVLockDB /Library/WebServer/DAVLock/DAVLock
  ...
  
  In Terminal, type:
  
  sudo chown www:www /Library/WebServer/DAVLock
  
  Also, and this was the REAL problem why I kept getting "Could not open the lock database", the directory must be writable by everyone:
  
  So I did this to make it work in Terminal:
  
  sudo chmod 777 /Library/WebServer/DAVLock
  
  And then it worked!. Hope this helps.
