[SOLVED] Sync-Problem after migration of WebDAV Sync Location

I migrated a WebDAV Sync Location from one provider to another.

As I was not sure if this is possible (the server or domain could be part of the encryption or something), I just tested the new location in DEVONthink and could directly see my remote databases.

I then disabled the old location, enabled the new location and tested this with adding a new group in DEVONIthink which then showed up in DTTG without problem!

So far so good.

But …

But after some hours, I tried to use DTTG and got such messages:

Synchronization
https://…/webdav/DT.dtCloud/…/master.plist: forbidden (403)

I then checked DT and saw the same messages in the log:

I wrote “IP” instead of my IP address above.

Always the same 4 files get logged, each two times in a row.

The sync location has but 5 databases, so one database does NOT show those messages!

The files themself look totally OK to me:

ls */master.plist

EDIT: I think this was caused by some strange error in the Apache configuration where a VirtualHost had not the right certificate … marked as SOLVED

Dropbox, WebDAV and local sync stores are absolutely identical, e.g. a local sync store can be also accessed via WebDAV sync locations at the same time.

Thanks for the update!
