add

app_path = ‘/Library/Server/Web/Data/WebApps/davdav/davdav/app’
sys.path.append(app_path)

to davdav.wsgi.

• If you can't make thumbnails, you may have to change the owner and permission of davdav.

sudo chown -R www:www /Library/Server/Web/Data/WebApps/davdav

sudo chmod -R 757 /Library/Server/Web/Data/WebApps/davdav
