Android WebDAV Filerun not working

Filerun is a self-hosted WebDAV provider, works without issue with Nextcloud app. However, Zotero Android for some reason cannot to it. Any way how to fix this?
  • What exactly doesn't work? Does Verify Server pass? If not, can you provide a Debug ID for a Verify Server attempt that fails?
  • Thanks @distillman for the follow-up. No, when I hit Verify Server I receive an error

    > https://sub.example.eu/zotero/ is not a valid WebDAV URL

    I followed the webDAV guide from here: https://docs.filerun.com/webdav

    At the server, I am getting the following log from the reverse proxy:

    ```
    {"ClientAddr":"10.0.10.8:60089","ClientHost":"10.0.10.8","ClientPort":"60089","ClientUsername":"-","DownstreamContentSize":0,"DownstreamStatus":200,"Duration":1103834,"OriginContentSize":0,"OriginDuration":994745,"OriginStatus":200,"Overhead":109089,"RequestAddr":"sub.example.eu","RequestContentSize":0,"RequestCount":533886,"RequestHost":"sub.example.eu","RequestMethod":"OPTIONS","RequestPath":"/zotero/","RequestPort":"-","RequestProtocol":"HTTP/2.0","RequestScheme":"https","RetryAttempts":0,"RouterName":"https-filerun@docker","ServiceAddr":"172.31.0.3:80","ServiceName":"web-filerun@docker","ServiceURL":"http://172.31.0.3:80","StartLocal":"2025-03-23T09:34:49.796463447+01:00","StartUTC":"2025-03-23T08:34:49.796463447Z","TLSCipher":"TLS_AES_128_GCM_SHA256","TLSVersion":"1.3","entryPointName":"https","level":"info","msg":"","request_User-Agent":"Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64; rv:109.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/115.0","time":"2025-03-23T09:34:49+01:00"}
    ```
  • OK, in the meantime I made some progress.

    Changing the path to https://sub.example.eu/dav.php/@Home/zotero made a connection to the WebDAV, by asking whether I want to create the zotero folder.

    When I hit create, I get a 409 error:

    An unknown error occurred.
    Please check your file sync settings or contact your WebDAV server administrator.
    HTTP 409
  • That's an HTTP 409 Conflict from your WebDAV server. You'll need to debug this yourself using the server logs.
