The default address it served at would be http://localhost:8080/file , could 
you try
this?

BTW, you don't need to install pyxml, a patched version for running on app 
engine
already included in gaedav's source tree.

http://localhost:8080/file   shows the page.
but there is no upload link on the page.
Thanks.

i have figured it out.
it seems that one could only set the shared files directory in advance and 
upload 
them via appcfg.py updata.
thank you very much.

On Vista, you should use Web Folder to manage gaedav. There's some toturials of 
how
to use Web Folder with WebDAV:

or Google "vista webdav" for more.

That's great.
I have installed the fix for vista and could add 
https://webfolders2.mydocsonline.com/webfolder
but could not add http://3jianfang.appspot.com/files which could be viewed via 
brower.   and the code is :  addrealm('files','files')
by the way ,could i safely delete the original "addrealm('file', '/', 'btfs')"  
in 
PyFileServerConf.py ? 
thanks.

You can delete "addrealm('file', '/', 'btfs')", but if you what it be 'files', 
then
the code should be:
addrealm('files', '/', 'btfs')

'btfs' means Bigtable File System, which is written for using gaedav on App 
Engine.

i have the following codes:
addrealm('files','files')
addrealm('file', '/', 'btfs')
each shows in the browser.    there are files in 
http://3jianfang.appspot.com/files 
because i have maked a directory names "files" under the gae project directory 
and 
put some files into it.  appcfg.py update them for me.
the http://3jianfang.appspot.com/file is shown with no files there.  because i 
don't 
know the meaning of '/'.
but the two address have the same problems.  vista said the address is of no 
use.   
however vista could recognize the ttps://webfolders2.mydocsonline.com/webfolder
thanks.

In  addrealm('file', '/', 'btfs'), the '/' means the root of the virtual btfs
filesystem. Since you want to able to write files with the WebDAV interface 
(eg. Web
Folder).

Could you try to add "http://gaedavtest.appspot.com/dav/" to vista then I can 
see how
vista chat with the server.

Refer to Wikipedia, there may some problems with Windows.

i could see the pages with lots of files in http://gaedavtest.appspot.com/dav/ 
with 
chrome browser.   but the vista still said the address is of no use. :(

actually, i have not added the https://webfolders2.mydocsonline.com/webfolder.  
because i have no account.  but it prompted for account and password.  i 
thought 
which means vista established connection with mydocsonline.com.

Using OneDisk iPhone App with generic WebDAV configuration, when setup for 
Google Apps and the following 
URL:
      http://code.google.com/p/gaedav

app reports, "Verifying Failure (null), code 0"

@zaphodatlarge: try using http://gaedavtest.appspot.com/dav as the url instead.
