The HDA has a calendar server enabled by default. Using client software you can publish and also subscribe to published calendars on your HDA.

To publish or subscribe to a calendar in this server, you need four things:

  1. A client calendar program (see below),
  2. The publishing location or URL, which is: http://calendar/, and
  3. The calendar name of your choice, typically Home, John, etc.


In addition, you can also install a "client" application to browse calendars in your HDA, like iCalendar

Calendars can be created with widely available clients such as:


Technically, the HDA has a WebDAV server, commonly used for sharing online calendars and other files.

IMPORTANT: Only one calendar publisher is supported per calendar.

NOTE: Some clients may require that the name have the ical extension, e.g. Home.ics; you may need to experiment.

Amahi 7 (Fedora 19) Manual Solution

The Calender server is broken (Amahi bug 1339). Below you will find a manual solution that will correct the problem.

  • As root user, edit this file:
vi /etc/httpd/conf.d/03-calendar.conf
  • Comment out the following lines:
#AllowOverride AuthConfig
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
  • Add these lines afterwards:
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
AllowOverride AuthConfig
Require all granted
  • Restart the web server:
systemctl restart httpd.service

Now you should be able to publish and access your calendar.

Publishing URL

The publishing URL for the calendar is http://calendar/<CalendarName> . If that fails to work, try http://calendar.yourdomain.com/.

The <CalendarName> part maybe Home, or Home.ics (try this last one first).

Some clients, notably Sunbird, require that the name of the calendar have the ical extension (which is .ics), e.g. Home.ics. You may need to experiment with this until it works. If you calendar client asks for a username and password, use your normal login details. Please add your experiences in this page.

Names with spaces are supported.

Accessing the Calendar

We have one application called iCalendar that needs to be installed if you want to browse calendars in your hda via a web interface. Please note that this app is a read only client. It cannot create calendar entries.

The url for accessing the calendar is http://icalendar

The url for setting the calendar preferences page is

http://icalendar/preferences.php

Calendar Clients

Calendars can be created with widely available clients such as:
