"3 Creating A Virtual Host
I will now create a default Apache vhost in the directory /var/www/web1/web. For this purpose, I will modify the default Apache vhost configuration in /etc/apache2/sites-available/default. If you already have a vhost for which you'd like to enable WebDAV, you must adjust this tutorial to your situation.

"First, we create the directory /var/www/web1/web and make the Apache user (www-data) the owner of that directory:

"mkdir -p /var/www/web1/web
chown www-data /var/www/web1/web

"Then we back up the default Apache vhost configuration (/etc/apache2/sites-available/default) and create our own one:

"mv /etc/apache2/sites-available/default /etc/apache2/sites-available/default_orig
vi /etc/apache2/sites-available/default"
