Cannot Publish iCal in 10.5

I and many, many others can longer publish our iCal calendars with 10.5.
Appears there are many on the iCal Discusions that also cannot publish:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1207705&tstart=0
Hopefully Apple can help us fix this.
iCal is useless if we cannot publish our calendars!

Same problem here. Publishing to http://mydisk.provider.net says
"The server responded with
"HTTP/1.1 503 Service Unavailable"Service not available"
However simply mounting http://mydisk.provider.net as a WebDAV Disk in the Finder is no problem so I blame iCal rather than my provider for the occasional(!) error.

  • Cannot publish iCal

    Whenever I try to publish my iCal i get either a "request to server failed" or a "failed to reach .mac after 30 seconds" error. My internet connection is working fine and I can easily get onto the .mac site and my website on .mac. I tried some of the suggested methods of emptying out files etc but nothing seems to work. Any other suggestions or help. Thanks

  • Publish iCal Local Account Calendar on OS X Server

    I'd like to publish my iCal calendar (iCal>Calendar>Publish...>Publish on: A private server) on my OS X Server 10.6.7 ().
    Whenever I attempt to do this using my local account on tthe server, I get the error:
    http://username@domain_name/Home.ics is not a location that supports this request.
    I've tried all the obvious stuff: turning off the firewall, sanity checking the iCal service authentication settings, everything obvious. I believe that this is an authentication issue for local accounts on OS X Server. Because the server is set up as a standalone (i.e., no network accounts, all local accounts), Open Directory is turned off, and there's no Kerberos authentication that I'm aware of.
    Would someone please tell me how how to publish iCal calendars of local accounts on OS X Server?

    According to iCal Server Administration, OS X Server requires an Open Directory account, so you cannot publish your local account's iCal calendar.
    You can, however, use iCal itself and a modification of the OS X Hint "Publish iCal calendars with local WebDAV server" to publish local account calendars.
    0. Server Admin>Web>Sites Turn on the Web with an enabled host name. Make sure that WebDAV is enabled under Server Admin>Web>Sites>Options. Enable SSL with your server's certificate under Server Admin>Web>Sites>Security to ensure that your personal calendar information is SSL encrypted over the web.
    1. Append this directive to the end of the file /private/etc/apache2/httpd.conf:
    Include /private/etc/apache2/other/*.conf
    and make sure that there's no conf file in ./other that you may not wish to load, such as httpd-userdir.conf. Move these to *.conf.original or some such if necessary.
    2. Create the file /private/etc/apache2/other/httpd-webdav.conf with the contents:
    # WebDAV configureation for Publishing local account iCal calendars
    #  Based in part on Mac OS X Hint "iPublish iCal calendars with local WebDAV server Apps"
    # http://hints.macworld.com/article.php?story=20020912065811863
    # copied from /etc/apache2/sites/0000_any_443_myserver.conf
    # which is automatically generated by Server Admin>Web
    # No need to replicate these directives here, so comment out
    #<IfModule mod_dav.c>
    #       DAVLockDB "/var/run/davlocks/.davlock100"
    #       DAVMinTimeout 600
    #</IfModule>
    <IfModule mod_dav.c>
      <Directory "/Library/WebServer/Documents/webdav">
        DAV On
        AuthType Digest
        AuthName 'WebDAV'
        AuthDigestFile /private/etc/apache2/httpd/.htdigest
        AuthGroupFile /dev/null
    #    <LimitExcept GET HEAD OPTIONS>
          require valid-user
    #    </LimitExcept>
      </Directory>
    </IfModule>
    3. Create the apache htdigest authentication file:
    $ mkdir /private/etc/apache2/httpd
    $ chmod 0755 /private/etc/apache2/httpd
    $ touch /private/etc/apache2/httpd/.htdigest
    $ chmod 0644 /private/etc/apache2/httpd/.htdigest
    $ htdigest /private/etc/apache2/httpd/.htdigest WebDAV username
    Adding password for username in realm WebDAV.
    New password: md5 hashed password
    Re-type new password: md5 hashed password
    4. Create the WebDAV directory:
    $ mkdir /Library/WebServer/Documents/webdav
    $ chown www:www /Library/WebServer/Documents/webdav
    $ chmod 0755 /Library/WebServer/Documents/webdav
    $ mkdir /Library/WebServer/Documents/webdav/iCal
    $ chown www:www /Library/WebServer/Documents/webdav/iCal
    $ chmod 0755 /Library/WebServer/Documents/webdav/iCal
    and sanity check that the OS X Server davlocks directory /var/run/davlocks exists [it should!] and has www:www ownership with permissions 755 [it should!].
    5. Sanity check your apache config files:
    $ apachectl -t
    should yield "Syntax OK". Then Server Admin>Web>Stop and Start to restart your web server with the new configuration.
    5. Under your local account on OS X Server, iCal>Calendar>Publish... Publish on a private server with the URL:
    https://osxserver/webdav/iCal
    using OS X Server's local account username/password. Success will be reported with a URL of your calendar on the server.
    6. Under another client account from which you wish to subscript to your OS X Server local account's Calender, iCal>Calender>Subscribe... Enter the URL on OS X Server. You will be prompted for the htdigest name/password pair you created above -- enter this, not the username/password of your local account on OS X Server. Even though you should be protecting this channel with SSL and md5, don't reuse your username/password to access the WebDAV directory you created. You will now be subscribed to your local account's iCal Calendar residing on OS X Server.

  • Cannot publish calendar

    I cannot publish a calendar to my own server.
    I get the following error:
    http://[email protected]/ical/Paul.ics is not a valid location for this request
    In the base URL I entered http://www.xxx.co.uk
    I am unsure why it is showing the @ because I did not add it.

    For iCal to be able to publish the server needs to be WebDAV enabled. See <http://www.webdav.org/> for more about WebDAV. WebDAV allows users to collaboratively edit and manage files on remote web servers.
    Do you have control of the server? If not, try asking whoever does whether the server is WebDAV enabled and, if so, instructions for setting up a WebDAV enabled folder on it.
    Best wishes

  • Unable to publish iCal

    Hi folks,
    When trying to publish one of my iCal calendars, I get a pane pop up which says:
    Calendar could not be published. Your .Mac account information is not correct. You cannot publish to .Mac until you have configured your .Mac account.
    The pane gives me the option to cancel, or go to 'Open .Mac preferences' which gives me no clue whatsoever as to how to configure my .Mac account.
    Any help would be appreciated, thanks

    Having been overwhelmed by the response to my question, I'm now happy to report that the problem is solved. By changing my search slightly, I eventually found this page:
    http://www.timefold.com/osx/tips/webdavical.html
    ...which did the trick. It's meant for Leopard, but seems to work OK with Snow Leopard too.

  • I cannot open iCal because of a problem. Can anybody help me? The computer will not allow it to open and sends a message to apple each time. The icon has gone from the dock, but ical works on my iPad and I am afraid to sync it with my computer.?

    I cannot open iCal because of a problem. Can anybody help me? The computer will not allow it to open and sends a message to apple each time. The icon has gone from the dock, but ical works on my iPad and I am afraid to sync it with my computer in case it wipes everything .

    I have the exact same problem. I have not changed anything. This is probably a bug or something that has gone bad with Mac OS X (10.7.2). I have not found any solution for this on the web.

  • Can multiple users alter a published ical calendar/to do list?

    two people , both with .mac accounts and used to using and publishing ical calendars, want a shared task list and shared calendar. both should be able to alter both.
    is it possible?
    thanks
    e

    This is exactly what a colleague and I want to do - and two more colleagues will want to join in on our shared calendar and to do list soon . All of us have .mac accounts etc. Surely lots of people would want this straightforward feature too....
    We don't, however, want to have to swap our .mac login details with each other. If I understand you right Gotham, that is what your soultion is. Thanks but not suitable for me.
    If iCal can't do this, why not? and what can?

  • Can you change the DEFAULT VIEW of a published iCal to MONTH VIEW?

    Can you change the DEFAULT VIEW of a published iCal to MONTH VIEW? I use this for a vacation rental and people never ever ever ever need to see anything but the MONTH VIEW. I hate having to tell them to click MONTH view at the top of the page. Is there a way to force it to always appear in MONTH? Thanks!

    ddotcom,
    Welcome to Apple Discussions.
    Unfortunately no, but if they are repeat viewers why not tell them to change their view to "Monthly" using the "Preferences" button on that page?

  • Cannot publish 1 page in CS4. Other pages including index.html ok. Error message results.

    After many months of no difficulty, I suddenly cannot publish changes to one of my pages (all others work) without getting the error message 'Another instance of Contribute is doing a workflow operation. Do you want to break the workflow and continue.....?' Whether I say yes or no and follow the prompts, it doesn't work. One way lets me exit, the other locks up my computer and I have to 'end task' to get control back. I hoped that the answer to the 'cannot publish index page' thread would help, but I didn't understand because most of this stuff is over my head. The only thing unusual I can dectect is the page name has an # sign after html as in 'name.html#tuition.' The word tuition refers to a pointer on the page. When I switch to edit mode, an asteric * appears after 'html' on the page name. I do not see that on any other page when I edit. I have CS4 version 5. Can anyone help? I don't know how many people there are in India, but I talked to half of them in a 2.5 hour 'session' in which I was transferred in a least 3 complete loops to every department and passing 'go' 3 times before some techie finally said I should email my question in and will get a reply within 3 days. Yeah, right. Worst tech support experience I have had in 10 years.

    Hi,
         Can you try deleting the Preferences and the Contribute's User Configuration folder. You will lose your website connections, you can recreate them again after relaunching Contribute.
    If you have installed Contribute in Mac, go to <Username>/Library/Application Support/Adobe folder and delete Contribute CS4 folder there. Also, go to <Username>/Library/Preferences/ folder and delete the 'Adobe Contribute 5 Preferences' file.
    If you have installed Contribute in Windows XP, the Contribute's Configuration folder will be in C:\Documents and Settings\<your username>\Local Settings\Application Data\Adobe\. Delete the Contribute CS4 folder there. To clear the registry for Contribute, type 'regedit' in the Run window.(Click Start, and click Run, and then type 'regedit' in the text field.) Select HKEY_CURRENT_USER, then Software, then Adobe, then Contribute CS4. Click Delete button. Close the Registry Editor window.
    The <username>, I have mentioned above is the name with which you will have logged into the machine.
    Now, Relaunch Contribute and connect to your website and try editing the web pages from your website. Can you try this?

  • I updated to os x 10.8.5 today and now I cannot publish changes to my web page through iweb.  iweb crashes every time I try to publish

    I updated to os x 10.8.5 today and now I cannot publish changes to my web page through iweb.  iweb crashes every time I try to publish

    First do the following:
    1 - delete the iWeb preference file, com.apple.iWeb.plist, that resides in your
         User/Home/Library/ Preferences folder.
    2 - delete iWeb's cache file, Cache.db, that is located in your
    User/Home/Library/Caches/com.apple.iWeb folder (Snow Leopard and Earlier).
    NOTE:  In Lion and Mountain Lion the Library folder is now invisible. To make it permanently visible enter the following in the Terminal application window: chflags nohidden ~/Library and hit the Enter button - 10.7: Un-hide the User Library folder.
    Next, in Lion and Mountain Lion the Home/Library folder is now invisible. To make it permanently visible enter the following in the Terminal application window: chflags nohidden ~/Library and press the Return key - 10.7: Un-hide the User Library folder.
    To open your domain file in Lion or Mountain Lion or to switch between multiple domain files Cyclosaurus has provided us with the following script that you can make into an Applescript application with Script Editor. Open Script Editor, copy and paste the script below into Script Editor's window and save as an application.
    do shell script "/usr/bin/defaults write com.apple.iWeb iWebDefaultsDocumentPath -boolean no"delay 1
    tell application "iWeb" to activate
    You can download an already compiled version with this link: iWeb Switch Domain.
    Just launch the application, find and select the domain file in your Home/Library/Application Support/iWeb folder that you want to open and it will open with iWeb. It modifies the iWeb preference file each time it's launched so one can switch between domain files.
    WARNING: iWeb Switch Domain will overwrite an existing Domain.sites2 file if you select to create a new domain in the same folder.  So rename your domain files once they've been created to something other than the default name.

  • Publish iCal to OS X Server 10.3.9 with WebDAV enabled--not working

    I've published iCal calendars to other servers with WebDAV enabled, but so far have not been able to publish to OS X 10.3.9 server with WebDAV enabled.
    Error message is: Calendar could not be published. This access has been forbidden by server.
    I'm using an administrative username and password to eliminate any question about access to specific directories, I've ensured that the site is WebDAV enabled using the OS X Server Admin gui (so, web/sites/domain name/ editing section, under Options). I've been unable to find any more detailed instructions on publishing to OS X server. Any suggestions, webpage tutorials, etc., greatly appreciated.
    FWIW, I suspect the folder location for where the .ics file would go on the server may be the issue. The web content is in Library/WebServer/foldername and this is where I put the calendar folder.

    Hi Jovan
    I don’t think its a problem with 10.3 server as such. You’ve got to remember that 10.3 is getting on a bit. As far as supporting the latest drive sizes Apple as well as other interested parties would devote their energies in supporting the latest operating systems. For example Microsoft have recently released Vista. Most interested parties will get on board the Vista bandwagon and start developing and writing drivers and software for that rather than XP. After a while you will start to see less and less being developed for the older operating system. I think this is just one of those times.

  • Trying to publsh changes to my website. I get a message "There was an error communicating with the FTP server. Try again later, or check with your service provider." I did, and all my settings are correct, but still cannot publish

    Trying to publsh changes to my website. I get a message "There was an error communicating with the FTP server. Try again later, or check with your service provider." I did, and all my settings are correct, but still cannot publish.
    Any other ideas?

    Most likely you are suffering from a bug in iWeb that doesn't let you publish websites if an image you have added to your site begins with space. You can either search for that image and remove it.

  • Publish ical on internet for any apple or window users?

    I would like to publish ical for my business. Therefore my clients can see what days I have available. I have tried ical exchange and am not able to get my friend to log onto it on their windows (mozilla) web browser. I have tried .web but run into the same problem. I do not want to use .mac if I have to because of the cost. I figure I have two options publish it to a site similar to ical exchange or publish directly to my website. I do not know how to either, any advice?

    You can use the publish feature of iCal to publish your calendar to either a .Mac account or any other URL which is running WebDAV services (WebDAV is a mechanism to allow file transfers over FTP - supported by Apache and many fine web server software).
    If your web site is not running WebDAV see if your system administrator can set that up for you.
    More information on WebDAV can be found here: http://www.webdav.org/
    Here are some hosting companies that support WebDAV: http://www.hosting-comparison.com/info/webdav-hosting
    For what its worth, I pay the $99 for .Mac and between the backup software and synchronizing my machines I think its worth it. The .Mac hosting and Email is just a bonus.
