Matt,

I didn't until just now :-) Here's what I did (on my Debian server)

1) aptitude install libapache-mod-dav
2) created /home/keith/public_html/ical
3) chown www-data.www-data /home/keith/public_html/ical
4) create the following file /etc/apache/conf.d/keith-ical with the
following content:

DAVLockDB /var/lock/DAV/DAVLock
DAVMinTimeout 600
<Directory /home/keith/public_html/ical>
~        DAV On
~        AllowOverride None
~        Options None
~        <Limit GET POST OPTIONS PROPFIND>
~            Order allow,deny
~            Allow from all
~        </Limit>
~        <Limit PUT POST DELETE PROPFIND PROPPATCH MKCOL COPY MOVE LOCK
UNLOCK>
#            Require user keith
~        </Limit>
</Directory>

5) Reload apache

****WARNING****
You're gonna want to figure out the security settings on this. Obviously
, my comment above let's anyone post to that directory (I've already
pulled this configuration until I can finish it).

See /usr/share/doc/libapache-mod-dav/README.Debian.gz for more info.

Have fun :-)

Keith
