This is a follow-up to my earlier post regarding opening SharePoint document libararies (hosted on Windows 2008) in Windows Explorer. In that post I talked about having to install Desktop Experience to get the Web Client service - well that worked fine for us in our dev / test environment, but didn't do the trick in live. Why? What had we missed?
Turns out 2 things needed fixing in live. Firstly, in SharePoint (under Authentication Providers) we needed to enable Client Integration. Secondly - and this foxed us for some time - we needed to have a SharePoint site at the root of the URL. In other words, although we have sites on a mapped path like so: http://myhostname/sites/site1 we needed to create a site at http://myhostname
