Here you have an example for a WebDAV configuration in Apache
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerAdmin webmaster@sos-berlin.com
ServerName homer.sos
ServerAlias homer.sos
# don't loose time with IP address lookups
HostnameLookups Off
# needed for named virtual hosts
UseCanonicalName Off
# configures the footer on server-generated documents
ServerSignature On
Alias /jade /tmp/test/jade
<Directory /tmp/test/jade/ >
Options Indexes MultiViews
AllowOverride None
Order allow,deny
allow from all
</Directory>
<Location /jade >
DAV On
AuthType Basic
AuthName "webdav"
AuthUserFile /srv/www/passwd.dav
Require valid-user
ErrorDocument 400 default
ErrorDocument 401 default
ErrorDocument 403 default
ErrorDocument 404 default

ErrorDocument 412 default
ErrorDocument 413 default
ErrorDocument 414 default

</Location>
</VirtualHost>
DAVLockDB /var/lib/dav/lockdb
Make sure that the Apache user (e.g. wwwrun) has sufficient permissions on above WebDAV directory /tmp/test/jade.
It is strongly recommended that you configure all Apache ErrorDocument to default in the WebDAV location.
If you send a file with Jade to an Apache WebDAV server then Jade checks wether the target file already exists.
If the target file doesn't exist then the Apache WebDAV server response the 'ErrorDocument 404' in addition to the HTTP Status 404
Otherwise the answer of the apache takes much longer if
