Article:		Serve Your iCal Calendars Using WebDAV
Subject:		What about FreeBSD Unix?

I have an apache server running FreeBSD Unix, it is a virtual private server not a mac : ( I figured the instructions should be similar enough that I would be able to figure how to get iCal to like my webserver. For some reason, when I add any kind of authentication to mod_dav, iCal will no longer write .ics files to the server. This is what does work for me... LoadModule dav_module /usr/local/etc/httpd/modules/mod_dav-1.0.3.so DAVLockDB /var/db/DAVLock/ DavMinTimeout 600 Alias /calendar/ /usr/local/etc/httpd/htdocs/davhome/ <Location /calendar/> DAV On <LimitExcept GET HEAD OPTIONS> </LimitExcept> </Location> if I add "require user" in the limit tag or add "authtype basic", iCal can't write to my server. If I add .htaccess to the folder, iCal won't work. (yes I do know how to set up the passwords) Any ideas on FreeBSD Apache??? I obviously can't leave this DAV folder unprotected. I would prefer .htaccess so the folder contents are unavaliable without the password.
