Hi Xavier, One question. I did the first two steps of your guide, so far it´s OK and working. But I have one problem. I connect via Putty to the server and start the WebDav with the command you provided. But as soon as I close Putty or press CTRL + C, the wiki is not reachable anymore. CTRL + A, CTRL + D like in Screen doesn´t work.
Is it somehow possible to keep the WebDav open even when I close Putty? Best regards heusmich Xavier schrieb am Mittwoch, 9.
