AI WebDAV error

[Micky]

I recently noted that on my DS918+, running DSM 7.1, the package WebDAV throws many similar error logs (file: /var/log/webdav/webdav-error.log) over the time and on a regularly base since some weeks now.

Please see some of those error lines below.

[Fri Mar 03 10:08:16.296694 2023] [core:notice] [pid 19633:tid 140380663630720] AH00094: Command line: '/var/packages/WebDAVServer/target/usr/sbin/httpd -f /var/packages/WebDAVServer/target/etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf-webdav'
[Fri Mar 03 10:09:25.078522 2023] [mpm_worker:notice] [pid 19633:tid 140380663630720] AH00295: caught SIGTERM, shutting down
[Fri Mar 03 10:09:25.695630 2023] [mpm_worker:notice] [pid 8422:tid 140469094034304] AH00292: Apache/2.4.54 (Unix) configured -- resuming normal operations

I do not have any clue what's the meaning of those logs and how to solve those issues, if any.

On the other hand, WebDAV is running and works as expected.

How to get rid of those messages?

These log messages seem to be related to the Apache web server that is used by the WebDAV package. From the log messages, it appears that the Apache web server is being started and then later shutting down due to catching a SIGTERM signal. However, it then resumes normal operations.

While these log messages might indicate a problem with the Apache web server, it's possible that they are just informational and not indicative of any actual issues.

To troubleshoot this issue, you can try the following steps:

1. Check if any other packages are using Apache web server. If yes, try disabling them temporarily and see if the log messages disappear.

2. Check for any configuration errors in the WebDAV package. You can check the file /var/packages/WebDAVServer/target/etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf-webdav to verify Apache configuration. Any errors in the configuration can cause issues with the server startup and shutdown.

3. Try reinstalling the WebDAV package. Sometimes, a fresh install can fix issues related to misconfigured files or broken package installations.

4. If the above steps do not resolve the issue, it's possible that there is a bug in the WebDAV package or DSM 7.1. You can report this issue to Synology support for further assistance.

It's worth noting that if the WebDAV package is working fine despite these log messages, you can ignore them for now. However, if you notice any issues with the package in the future, you should investigate these log messages further to identify any underlying issues.

So is there any tool I could use to verify the WebDAV configuration file as it needs to be for my Synology diskstation?

There are multiple tools that you can use to verify a WebDAV configuration file. One way to do this is to use the apachectl command to validate the syntax of the configuration file. Here are the steps to do this:

1. SSH into your Synology NAS.
2. Enter the following command to validate the syntax of the httpd.conf-webdav file:

sudo /var/packages/WebDAVServer/target/usr/sbin/apachectl -t -f /var/packages/WebDAVServer/target/etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf-webdav

This command checks the syntax of the file and reports any errors or warnings.

If the configuration file syntax is valid, the output will be:

Syntax OK

If there are any errors in the configuration file, the output will show you the line number and error message.

3. Once you make any necessary changes to the configuration file, you should restart the WebDAV package:

sudo synoservice --restart pkgctl-WebDAVServer

If you have trouble fixing any issues in the configuration file or if you want additional guidance, you can reach out to Synology support for further assistance.
