I have a bunch of servers with WebDAV that run under Apache 2.4 for 
quite some time. No problem with them all works as it should. Some were 
transferred from Apache 2.2. This is the moment to be careful: start 
with Apache 2.4 own configuration, and add blocks of config necessary to 
your particular stuff, but after taking them from apache 2.2 config 
file, you will need to rewrite them the way Apache 2.4 requires, which 
is different. (And checking which modules do you request loaded in new 
apache may help too).

Good luck!
