Install went fine (on a 6.01), but calendar for mozilla does not work.

Ooops, sorry I forgot that:

Dav lockfile:

    * Open template fragment

    pico /etc/e-smith/templates-custom/etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf/35DavLock

    * Type that content:

<IfModule mod_dav.c>
    DAVLockDB /var/run/davLocks/DAVLock
</IfModule>

    * Save the file (ctrl+X)
    * Create lock directory and give it the right ownership

    mkdir /var/run/davLocks
    chown www:www /var/run/davLocks

Also added a note on sharing calendars.

HowTo updated

Hi,
so now i can read an ics file (which i copied into the files folder of an "webdeav'ed" ibay), but calendar cannot write to it.
Maybe webdav location should move away from the ibays to the webshare directories (http://no.longer.valid/mylinks/visit.php?cid=123&lid=296),
which work great for uploads, and is allready .htaccess-enabled.

Laurent,

thanks for your work on that. After your updated documentation, it's working fine here.
Looking at the available clients, I like the approach with .ics files but I feel a need for the web based access as an alternative when users are travelling (same as imap mail client plus webmail).
I downloaded and played with phpicalendar and so far I can read the .ics file that I created with Mozilla's calendar but I cannot update through the web interface.

Has anybody experience with phpicalendar?

Regards,
Michael Doerner

Install went ok on 5.6. Thanks a lot for this !

But there's still something I would like to do : set up a semi-public area for viewing calendars (1 public user account), and a private area for updating the calendar.
I tested the access through a password protected i-bay : it's ok when updating. That makes my public user account for viewing.
The tricky part is to set up a second user account on the directory that stores the calendars (for limiting updates to 1 private user account).

I'm not really a linux guru, so if anyone can help...

thx in advance.
Frej.

Create a no-password-protected Ibays
Put there public Calendars

To have private calendars for user MYUSER:

- create a directory MYUSER in the Ibay
- cd to directory MYUSER
- pico .htaccess
- paste:


AuthUserFile /home/e-smith/files/ibays/IBAYNAME/html/MYSUSER/.htpasswd
AuthGroupFile /dev/null
AuthName "Please authenticate"
AuthType Basic
require MYUSER

- save  
- create password file:

#htpasswd -c .htpasswd MYUSER

and choose a password


Haven't tried but should work

More infos there:
http://hoohoo.ncsa.uiuc.edu/docs/tutorials/user.html

ok for .htaccess that uses .htpasswd, but what if I just want to use the users and passwords inside my SME box ? I tried the following .htacces file :

    AuthName "agendas"
    AuthType Basic
    AuthExternal pwauth
    require user <username>

This is ok if I accordingly modify the setup of httpd.conf by adding AuthConfig to get :

    AllowOverride Options FileInfo AuthConfig

This gives me a working website for viewing I put that file in the dir where the iCalendar file is stored... but updating that file does not work

any idea ?

[frej]

my mistake : publishing works if owner of the directory where calendars are stored is "www"

Hello,

Probably I did something wrong but I don't know what. And I dont know where to start repairing. Here's what happened:

I installed mod_dav according to the docs on this site. It responded ok on the commandline, but when I was done. The total webserver didn't responde. So even no server_manager through admin console. So no backup

How can I repair my templates without losing data/e-mail  from the rest.

Many thanks,

dutch badger

My problem of a complete disfunctional apache solves when I disable mod_dav. Not really solved, but maybe I have to look closer to the docs first before trying again. First I'm making a backup now. Still I would like to know how to make it work. Mozilla Calendar.
