Mount Davfs Cannot evaluate path of mount point
I'm trying to mount a webdav on my debian distribution, but I have an error when I try to do so.
The error is :
~# mount /mnt/dav
>/sbin/mount.davfs: can't evaluate path of mount point (null)
Last line of the fstab file (/etc/fstab) :
https://website.fr/remote.php/dav/files/jeffez/ /mnt/dav davfs _netdev,auto,user,uid=jeffez,gid=jeffez 0 0
Last lines of the davfs2 secret file (I changed the password)
# personal webdav, nextcloud application password
/mnt/dav jeffez Pg9z8-XFGbX-iug6R-k90D5-gK8kL
# older versions used URL, it is equivalent for compatibility reasons
#https://nextcloud.example.com/remote.php/webdav/ milosz mypassword

one reason for this error is that you did not create the directory before mounting:
mkdir /mnt/dav

We'll have to take them at their word that they followed the tutorial they linked to, and indeed ran themkdir.
