RE: [MLUG] Setting up and testing WebDAV

["Cutts III, James H." <EMAIL:PROTECTED>]

I've got the directives in the httpd.conf file.  
I've restarted the httpd service.
The directory is set rwx for the group in which the apache server
resides.

The directory I've got setup can be seen by the web server.  I can read
both the index.html file as well as the .ics file stored in the
directory.  I can read the .ics file from Sunbird.  I can  not write to
the directory.  I get a "Publishing the calendar file failed Status
code: 403: Forbidden" error message from Sunbird.

The httpd's access_log reports: 
128.206.xx.xxx - - [28/Sep/2007:12:23:43 -0500] "GET
/~cuttsj/ical/Home.ics HTTP/1.1" 200 919 "-" "Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U;

Windows NT 5.1; en-US;
 rv:1.8.1.4pre) Gecko/20070614 Sunbird/0.5"

The httpd's error_log reports: 
[Fri Sep 28 12:23:43 2007] [error] [client 128.206.xx.xxx]client denied
by server configuration: /home/cuttsj/www/ical/Home.ics

I've just tried changing the ownership of the directory to the apache
server.  That didn't work either.

I've also made sure that the DAVLockDB is in a location writable by the
web server.

As soon as I get it working where I can write to it, I'll start adding
authentification, but right now it's wide open, but not working.  Any
more suggestions?
