verify that everything appears as intended.
To make sure a Web site is working properly:
1
Open a Web browser and type the Web address of your server.
You can use either the IP address or the DNS name of the server.
2
Type the port number, if you are not using the default port.

If you’ve restricted access to specific users, enter a valid user name and password.
Enabling WebDAV
Web-based Distributed Authoring and Versioning ( WebDAV ) allows you or your users to
make changes to Web sites while the sites are running. If you enable WebDAV, you also need
to assign access privileges for the sites and for the Web folders.

1
In Server Settings, click the Internet tab.
2
Click Web and choose Configure Web Service.
3
In the General pane, select “Enable WebDAV support,” then click the Sites tab.
4
Select a Web site and click Edit, click the Options tab, then select Enable WebDAV.
5
Click the Access tab. Select a realm and click Edit, or click Add to create a new realm.
The realm is the part of the Web site users can access.
