In the docs , it says "DMX uses virtual roots to show content. WebDAV does not know about this. Every document is always accessed through a complete path starting at the ‘portal root’" If I go to Admin>File Manager, I do not see the 'folder' for DMX. In a DMX module, the root is listed as "Document Exchange", but I can't find a folder with this name. I've tried: http://mysite.com/dmxdav.axd/ -- returns 404 error. http://mysite.com/dmxdav.axd/Projects -- returns 404 error. http://mysite.com/dmxdav....ocument&20;Exchange/ -- returns "bad request" http://mysite.com/dmxdav....20;Exchange/Projects -- returns "bad request" What do I use for a path to the root folder?

These are routing errors. IIS is not properly configured if that path returns a 404. Use Fiddler to debug. And failed request tracing if needed. NB: There is no physical mapping to an existing folder on your hard drive. This is handled by the webdav handler. It makes it look like there is something there. Peter

OK, I'll check into IIS. But suppose IIS was working. Are the urls I gave valid? The statement about the portal root is confusing. If "Projects" is my first level folder below "Document Exchange" that I want to connect to, what would the url be?

Fiddler shows that the login credentials were invalid. I know what I entered was correct, so there must be some setting I need to enable. I'm using hosting with arvixe.com, so I don't have direct access to IIS. In the cp, there is an authentication section with 3 options: Allow Anonymous Access Enable Integrated Windows Authentication Enable Basic Authentication The first two are checked. Do I need to enable the basic option?

You must not have Windows Authentication on the folder. Like I mention in the blog post on Fiddler: it's easy to see if the request is not reaching the site due to Windows authentication interfering. And, yes, the urls are correct. Peter
