This is not an ISPConfig tutorial, so it is supposed that you know how to do this.

Use the ISPConfig web interface. Probably sensible to make the site a maximum size.

Step 2: Create data folder

$ mkdir /var/www/webXX/web/webdav
$ chown webXX_trident:webXX /var/www/webXX/web/webdav
$ chmod o+w /var/www/webXX/web/webdav

Step 3: Create lock folder

$ mkdir /var/www/webXX/DAVlocks
$ chown www-data:www-data /var/www/webXX/DAVlocks
$ chmod o+w /var/www/webXX/DAVlocks

Step 4: Download and install

$ apt-get install libapache-mod-dav
$ a2enmod dav
$ a2enmod dav_fs

Step 5: Create user

$ htpasswd -c /var/www/webXX/.DAVlogin username

Step 6: Add Apache Directives to ISPConfig site

Use the web interface and browse to Sites.

DavLockDB /var/www/webXX/DAVlocks/DAVlocks
Alias /webdav /var/www/webXX/web/webdav
<Location /webdav/>
    DAV On
    AuthType Basic
    AuthName 'username'
    AuthUserFile /var/www/webXX/.DAVlogin
    <LimitExcept GET POST PUT DELETE CONNECT OPTIONS PATCH PROPFIND PROPPATCH MKCOL COPY MOVE LOCK UNLOCK>
        Require valid-user
    </LimitExcept>
</Location>

Restart apache service.

Step 7: Install Cadaver for testing

$ apt-get install cadaver
$ cadaver http://webdav.tridentgarages.co.uk/webdav/
Username: username
Password: p455w0rd
dav:/webdav/> put test.file
dav:/webdav/> ls
dav:/webdav/> get test.file
