Webdav sync error with self-hosted HTTP Apache2 server

Hi,

I am finding this issue when trying to setup a webdav sync with my self-hosted apache2 instance.

This is the error report zotero-side:

[JavaScript Error: "XML Parsing Error: no root element found
Location: http://enrico:****@raspberrypi.local/webdav/zotero/
Line Number 1, Column 1:" {file: "http://enrico:****@raspberrypi.local/webdav/zotero/" line: 1}]

[JavaScript Error: "Une erreur indéterminée est survenue.

Veuillez vérifier vos paramètres de synchronisation de fichier ou contacter l'administrateur de votre serveur WebDAV.

HTTP 400"]

And this is the one i get from httpd:

[Fri Feb 09 15:45:39.083653 2024] [auth_digest:error] [pid 17258:tid 281473375400224] [client 2a01:cb04:382:1300:c0bc:913b:f0ae:80b:49891] AH01786: uri mismatch - does not match request-uri
[Fri Feb 09 15:45:39.441386 2024] [auth_digest:error] [pid 17259:tid 281473383854368] [client 2a01:cb04:382:1300:c0bc:913b:f0ae:80b:49896] AH01786: uri mismatch - does not match request-uri

Anyone has a clue what it is about? I can read/write without any problem in this webdav share when acessing from windows file explorer.

All is http because my server is working only over the local network by a small Tailscale WireGuard VPN.

Thank you in advance,
Enrico
