ICal web calendars

Hello,
I have the ical server up and running, and I have iCal on my MBP and pad accessing it. I have seen a few references of a web calendar but don't see where to set it up.
How do I enable the web calendar and how do I access it? I tried 192.168.1.100/ical and it didn't load anything. (I tried that while internal).
Thanks!

The web calendar is part of the Web service. You need to add Web to the list of services running on your server, add a site, and configure that site to provide calendaring functionality.

How to make iCal Server events viewable on the web calendar?

Hi,
I can create, edit and view events on the web calendar.
I can create, edit and view my own events via iCal.
How can I set it up so we can see all the calendars from our group on the web calendar? It's empty now other than what's entered via the web calendar.
Is there really no integration between the two?

I too thought web group calendar was subscribe only in iCal until I ran across the procedure at
http://www.macosxhints.com/article.php?story=20080410162942908
in the 4th comment down by protean. With a couple of additions I was able to post an event to the web group calendar and have an update on the web post back to the iCal calendar. My additions were needed to get the results as posted in the comment:
1) make sure Enable Calendaring is selected for all group members,
2) refresh iCal to ensure all group members are visible in the Personal Server Calendar Address Pane before adding the group calendar account,
3) add all members in step 3 of the procedure including yourself, however, if the owner of the group (e.g. diradmin) is not a member then don't add it,
4) prior to step 6 of the procedure you can verify the group is visible as in step 8 in the Personal Server Calendar delegation before deleting the group account; if not visible then you don't have to start from scratch, just work with the group account from step 1,
5) the group calendar shows up in the left column list of calendars under Delegates calendars.
So I got this to work.
Then I setup a location in Directory.app with Delegates as the group. It shows up in iCal under Delegates calendar with the error notice
'Error While Refreshing Access to account "location title" is not permitted.'
So there is no calendar available for the location in iCal. The personal iCal account shows the Delegation of location and the Show checkbox is selected. The group is allowed to select the location on the web calendar and in the server iCal calendar. But the location doesn't indicate conflicts in the availability pane. Can someone tell me what might be missing?

Web calendar for group only? Users cals only in iCal?

I'm new to setting up iCal server and I've looked through my *Mac OS X Server Essentials* book as well as iCalService_Admin_v10.5_2ndEd.pdf and WebTechnologies_Adminv10.5.pdf and how the iCal service, the iCal application and the web calendar all interact remains a little murky for me.
Here's my understanding so far:
iCal the application on the OS X client computer is used to manage a single user's calendar. iCal can also be used to manage another user's calender if so set up.
The web calendar found at http://domain/groups/groupname/calendar/ is used to manage a group's calendar.
iCal the application can subscribe Read-Only to the group's calendar.
This means to me that a user's calendar is not viewable on the web, the web calendar is only for group calendaring, and group calendar management is only done via the web not iCal, is this true?

I have only recently made my web calendars work, but have had several odd problems when trying to use both the web calendar and iCal to edit and view the same group calendar.
*What is the proper way to access a group calendar in the iCal client?*
Is it this?

Open source web calendar client to connect Mac OS X Server iCal service?

Can another calendars events be integrated into a published web calendar?

Apologies in advance for my general ignorance about iCal. I am just starting to venture into the program.
I am the web coordinator for a nonprofit group, and am intending to use iCal to publish a web calendar for our site. I have subscribed to the US Holidays calendar, and am wondering if there is any way to get the holidays to show up in my group's published calendar (i.e. I want holidays on the web calendar, but don't want to have to plug them in myself). It is obvious how to integrate the calendars within the application -- just not sure if there's a way to make events from other calendars integrate into the published web calendar.
Sorry about the redundancy -- just want to be clear.
Also, is there anyway to embed these calendars into a web page.
TIA,
mel

mel,
Welcome to Apple Discussions.
Just create a new Calendar Group, name it "Publish" for example, and drag the U.S. Holidays into that group.
The following information is taken from iCal Help.
1. Choose File > New Calendar Group, or hold down the Shift key while clicking the Add + button in the lower-left corner of the iCal window, and then type a name for the group.
2. Add existing calendars to the group by dragging them under the group name, or select the group name and choose File > New Calendar to create a new calendar within the group.
3. Remove calendars from the group by dragging them out of the list.
You should be able to embed a link to the calendar in a web page, but I do not know how to provide a direct display of that calendar.

Time in web calendar

Hello people, I wrote this post in ical server but i got no answer, so i will try my luck heir:
i have the problem in the web calendar using (safari and firefox):
We put our meetings online in the web browser so that windows users can see meeting of the mac users.
the problem is when i write a meeting from 10 till 12 clock is the web browser it tells me an error that I have no access right, but when i write a meeting 10:00 to 11:59 the browser tells no error and it save the meeting,
or if I add 24 clock then the web browser chang it to 12 noon
can somebody help me??!!
the time zone on xp clients and mac os x (10.6.4) clients is Germany
best regards

Hi
We have experienced this too. It seems that it is the first time you try to enter an event that goes over 12 noon but before 1pm the no access error appears.
We have found a workround similar to yours in that we enter a time schedule say 10.30 to 13.30 and then can change it in the week view by dragging the graphic. If we try to amend the duration in the dialogue box the error occurs.
We are running 10.6.4 on the server and the client is at 10.5.8.
Bug?

Web Calendar in Mac OS X Server 10.5

The iCal server in Mac OS X 10.5 Server correctly records recurring events and they are visible in iCal. However, when viewed through a group's web calendar, only the first instance of the event is visible.
Is there a non-default setting that has to be turned on or is this a bug? I've tried it in 10.5.4 and 10.5.5 server.

I have the same question. I have a brand new install of ML running Server and have turned on Calendar service but cannot seem to actually ever create a calendar account so that I can share my calendar across various computers and users...

Default timezone from Web calendar (currently UTC)

When I create an event using the Web calendar, it seems to use UTC as the time zone. This causes a problem when I go into iCal and see that the event is several hours off compared to what I set when I created the event. I can edit the event in iCal to use my local timezone (PST), but I'm wondering if there is a way to set the default timezone when creating events using the Web calendar?
Patrick

As far as I can see from looking at the saved CalDAV data, iCal and Sunbird save timezone info for each calendar entry whereas the WebCalendar saves none.
This is fine if you are working only with the web calendar or you specify no timezone data in your external client (iCal, Sunbird, etc), but is unusable otherwise.
There are four things that need to be addressed here as I see it.
1) The iCal Server software needs to use the timezone info from the settings on the server machine to set its internal values.
2) The web calendar software needs to use (1) as a default for all new web calendar accounts.
3) The web UI needs to have a way to set a timezone value in the "Settings" page of the users and the groups.
4) The web calendar needs to read and save this timezone data with each entry to/from the CalDAV server.
Until Apple does this the system is unusable except in tightly controlled environments as more diligent users will set their timezone data in other applications such as iCal, Sunbird, or others that are coming out.
Any comments on this from Apple Tech?

Web-Calendar component in Wiki get lost after Open Directory installation

if I change my Lion Server to use opendirectory and not work in standalone mode, I lose the ability of the server for web-calendar for example at the wiki-webpage.
servername/webcal
The error-message tells me, the service calendar is deaktivated and I should activate it at Server App.
But at Server App:
a) iCal Service IS ACTIVE
b) I find NO OPTION for activating the Web-Calender function under iCal like at the Mail-Service (one above) -> activate Webmail
So, HOW I can BRING the web calendar component BACK TO MY WIKI?
I wanted to use it in company, but now I not touch this "open directory activation" anymore, because I will lose. Without opendirectory the webcalendar working!
I tried to find that function with Server - Admin, but this programm is much limited to what it was at the Snow Leopard Server and there I cannot select the iCal Service anymore. It's same with the new Airport Utility 6.0. Terrible reduced and I just installed back 5.6 and this is good working for my needs.

I found the solution: Like with the PPTP-VPN problem it depends on the certificate. If you BUY an official public certificate (yes spend money for your Server more than the server price!), at once the Webcalender and the PPTP-VPN working!
If in other way you fight through your selfsigned certificate problems and rebuild it, at once you will get all your problems again. So, not wonder why Apple at once mention in the help-line, that you need to buy a certificate. This, they mean true! You should support the certificate system of the new IPv6 and vanishing IPv4 world (I mean the IBM VeriSystem) for the new TRANSACTION orientated usage-fee-world. And not forget in this new Internet 2 world: E-Mail will become a service that get paid per transaction and 19% VAT tax (Germany) on top of it and 1 Cent communication tax (like the energy cent we pay today for each unit of energy source) for the EU. This, they realy plan to realize next years. So, why we wonder about this strange certificate issue it such transactions need be identified unique? In April in greater region Hannover-Braunschweig they will change the bankingcards for the new cashfree-system (GiroGo). And who wonders: cash-transfers will get transaction fees. They tell: Only 1 Cent / 5 Euro, only 2 Cent for 10 Euro, only 15 cent for 15 Euro. So, you understand what this new transaction and veriSigned world in real means? It is a change from a pocessing-free-world into a usage-fee-world. And you realy think that 2013 we still will speak from a banking crisis under such new conditions? They will get billions each day cash-transaction-fees. With NFC-iPhone 5 no problem (NCF -> look at Near field communications). The people will say: Oh, it's only 1, 2, 3 Cent but so practical not change money coins anymore. You will see how good this transaction usage-fee money-machine will work. And the EU will get billions transaction-communication-tax each day from the emails, there will be no discussion about Greek, Irland, Portugal, Spain (PIGS) ... economic-crisis anymore. You will see, such will happen! No banking crisis with Internet 2, no economic crisis with Internet 2. All will be solved by us, the people. Oh, our Merkel, when she come back from a G20 meeting already said: "We decided that each economic member and part need be 100% in focus in future and not uncontrolled anymore."
If somebody more interested at this plan, you can watch this docu movie "one mainframe to rule the world" that describes deeper the issue of certification, identification, verification of people or things. The near world we drive directly into. And this certification system is ruled by whom?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uXTwS_T-CvM
When I at least go to the Apple-Center I found the teacher with a Microsoft-T-Shirt of certification and wonderd very much. Than he told me, that the only groupware that is true for a good usage together with Apple is Exchange Server. And the more he told the more I wonder because he is Apple-Highgraded. But I not so much wonder anymore. Understand the game this companies play with us. It's a licence crisis and it can be described as: Microsoft is a the one end of the coordination system with x = price and y = pieces sold. Apple is exaclty at the opposite. Look what MS does, look what Apple does and at the end it's not difficult to see, that they moving to eachother to meet. And the missing 3d coordinate z in this new room is IBM with it's VeriSystem.
So, a perfect xyz-combination for all giants.
How Google, Linux ... matches inside this "new computer world order"?
I will mention that much IT-professionals at the moment going to such new curses and explain that 2013 they will change all hardware to "certified hardware" that NEED BE used in businesses and for example Linux will not be part of this new "certified world".

Resolution for Error 210 on web calendars

Folks,
After spending WAY too much time on this error 210 issue, and spending too much time surfing the web, I have this fixed finally so I can connect to the group calendars via the web.
Many have noticed that a workaround is to delete the group and create a new one with a new UID. This appears to work but is imho a crappy answer since you may have a lot of stuff already in place for a group when iCal server loses it's alleged mind.
Here's what I did that resolved the issue (along with being unable to connect to the user calendar on iCal server from iCal on the client)
1. In the Hostname field, change from your external server.domain.com to server.local
2. Save the change and restart the iCal server when prompted
3. Expect to continue to get the 210 error
4. At a convenient time in your maintenance window, shutdown the server (restart did not work for me)
5. Count to ten
6. Start the server
7. Once the login screen appears on your server console, connect to your web server and select groups
8. Authenticate if necessary
9. View the calendar and you should be good to go. You can create new events from your browser as well as view events.
Apple support has a document (couldn't find it the second time) that suggest to use Digest or Any as the authentication method and advises specifically not to select Kerberos. Mine is set to digest and everything works. As noted above, I also discovered that my client side iCal could now establish a connection and auto discover the iCal server. This broke several days ago and now works again.
For reasons I do not know, stopping and restarting services such as iCal, Web and Mail don't seem to properly load new or changed configurations.
Unfortunately in restarting the server all Mail services are broken again when it comes to either sending or receiving. Receiving actually worked for four days, sending never has. The mail system on OS X Server is really a piece of junk

Was an advisory post, not a question

ICal Home calendar missing

About a week or so ago, my iCloud iCal Home calendar went missing. It doesn't show up under iCloud at all on any of my devices (iMac, MacBook, iPad or iPhone. I've gone through some of the solutions recommended for getting retrieving calendars, but no luck.
This calendar had a lot of data in it. How can I get it back?

If you have a device backup on icloud, then the following link describes what to do to restore data. This link talks of Contacts, but the same pertains to calendars. The trick is to prevent the newly restored data from being wiped by an icloud sync, so pay attention to the stuff about disconnecting the router from the web.

ICal Group Calendars Repeating Events

Is it really true that group calendars can't have repeating events? If you add an group account in iCal and then take events from the Group calendar and make them repeating they do not show up in the web calendar.
Is Apple telling up that standing weekly or monthly meetings for a workgroup are "a bad thing"?

I have finally got Leopard Server Advanced up and running with Open Directory, iCal Server, Wiki Server and DNS. I haven't tried my luck on anything else because my experience is that once you break something there is no way to fix it other than a clean install!
Now I find that repeating events don't show up in the web calendar? Obviously this product was not ready to be released. I am hoping that after a couple of more point releases, maybe by 10.5.5, this will finally be stable and feature complete.
It has a long way to go before it lives up to its hype. It does have potential though so I am willing to hang in there.

ICal: multiple calendar problems

I have been having problems with iCal on my Intel iMac, Powerbook G4, and now my iPhone, for a few months now. It started with just the PBG4 and the iMac having minor sync problems with my MobileMe account, like assigned calendar colors on the phone and web version of MobileMe iCal. Now it has advanced to calendars disappearing on the computers, triplicate calendars appearing on both iMac and Mobile Me web calendars, and most recently, all calendars disappearing from computers AND iPhone. If I hadn't backed up with a .icbu file, I might have nothing today. One of the weird symptoms is that I see calendars when I open iCal on the iMac, but within 5 seconds, it goes blank. I can get it back by creating a new calendar and creating/deleting a new appointment, but they will disappear again when I try to edit the calendars. Obviously, they reappear when I restore to backup. ANY THOUGHTS?????

Almost everything back to normal now. Still having some problems with views - new appointments/changes don't show up unless I refresh the page by moving to another date and then coming back. I think the problem was MobileMe and iPhone sync - I didn't do anything to fix it, but I got a notice that my calendar was being reset and then everything worked (almost).

Some iCal Subscription Calendars disappeared in iCal, but events still show up?

Hi there,
Here's my situation as simply as possible. I'm on Lion 10.7.4. Some iCal Subscription Calendars disappeared on my iMac iCal, but the events still show up.
1. On iCal on my iMac:
     - I have 10 subscription calendars, but now only 6 show up. --> (Herein lies the issue)
     - Events from the 4 missing calendars still show up.
2. iPhone:
     - has all 10 subscription calendars
     - has all events showing up
3. iPad:
    - has all 10 subscription calendars
     - has all events showing up
Does anyone know of an official workaround for this issue? What is the best approach to handling this issue?
thanks!

Exact same issue here. Individual events deleted from a recurring appointment continue to show up in Calendar (OS X 10.8.2). Same events do not show up on calendar if viewed via outlook from my desk PC or view outlook web app from anywhere.
Clearly a bug.

Resource/Locations in web calendar

Hi,
I have a problem with my resources/locations not showing up in the web calendars. I've managed to add them in Directory utility and delegated them to my group, but nothing is showing up in the web calendar and when I check the iCal properties in server admin there are no resources or locations listed, although the users and groups are.
Is there something obvious I'm doing wrong? It should be possible to schedule resources & locations through the web calendar, right?
Cheers,
Erik

That depends on the server that you are using. For example in tomcat you would establish the datasource connection parameters in the context xml file for the web app.
http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-5.0-doc/jndi-datasource-examples-howto.html
You'll need to consult the documentation for your server.
