sunbird + apache + webdav
October 20, 2004
So i was in school working this morning, while i was waiting for a couple of laptops finish being ghosted. I began to mess around with Mozilla’s Sunbird, a calendar application. I been looking for a way to keep track of dates for when i need to send bills and to keep track of other shit.
One thing i noticed while playing around was an option to publish to a remote server. After doing some searching i found out that you can publish a calendar out to an apache server running mod_dav then be able to sync that calendar across different clients. So say i like i setup a calendar at home using the sunbird client with important tasks and stuff for the day. Then when i am out at school or work, i can fire up my laptop that has thunderbird or firefox installed with the calendar extension, and sync my remote calendar. From there i can work on a action items for work, or add information for school like due dates for projects.
I found some documentation out on the web that shows you how to do this, but i would like to get a full guide up with everything you need to do in one document. From getting apache with mod_dav (webdav) up and running to getting sunbird syncing with it. So first i will need to get all working and stuff, then i will do the write up.
