How to Publish iCal calendars with local WebDAV server

17 04 2008

To publish your iCal Calendar with the bundled OS X Apache web server, edit Apache’s configuration file in /etc/httpd. You must be root, so I expect you know vi and the workings of this file in general.

 % sudo vi /etc/httpd/htttpd.conf

In the Shared Library section, where modules are loaded, add these two lines in the same ordering in their repective sections:

LoadModule dav_module libexec/httpd/libdav.soAddModule mod_dav.c

Then somewhere in the global section add:

DAVLockDB /Library/WebServer/davlocks/DAVLockDB

I used this section to have a webdav folder managed by Apache:

<Directory "/Library/WebServer/Documents/dav">  DAV OnAuthName 'WebDAV'

AuthType Basic

AuthUserFile /etc/httpd/.htpasswd

AuthGroupFile /dev/null

<LimitExcept GET HEAD OPTIONS>

require valid-user

</LimitExcept>

</Directory>

I want this folder protected (somewhat) by a password. To generate the password file
with MD5 passwords (not that old crypt!), please use the -m flag. The file is text. Note that http is vulnarable to sniffing attacks, so someone on your network can get at your password.

 % htpasswd -m -c /etc/httpd/.htpasswd user New password: not_safeRe-type new password: not_safe

Adding password for user user

Then set up the folder with permissions.

 % cd /Library/WebServer/ % mkdir davlocks% chown www:www davlocks

% cd Documents

% mkdir dav

% chown www:www dav

In iCal, choose Publish Calendar and specify http://localhost/dav/iCal. Do not FTP stuff into the dav folder; webdav uses its own locking, don’t confuse it.

Good Luck!

Heroes

28 10 2007

Heroes I was very hopeful that Heroes could become my next favorite series when I was first introduced to the show. Soon I got very bored with the story line.

Oh, yes, in case we haven’t noticed - the world is in grave danger and almost at an end, and it is up to a bunch of wonder guys who will save it. I could buy it if it wasn’t for a deja-vu called the 4400. So what’s new? Ah, yes, how did I miss that? The “wonder guys” aka Heroes cannot be reproduced in a factory like the 4400 can. Big difference.

Let’s see what’s next.
