I got it working on a by following the steps in this post (see Post #5)

http://forums.macosxhints.com/showthread.php?t=80054

I also used this

to create the .htpasswd file that the first link requires. To connect, I just put the url http://myipaddress/ical (which is the folder the first link tells you to create, name it whatever). And then that same address into the iPhone app, and it worked perfectly.

Thanks for the help! I have the webDav setup, when I go to http://myipaddress/ical I get an index of /ical page which looks good. But OF gives me an error when I try to sync using webdav: The server returned an error 405, "method not allowed". where in OF do you put this address?

This is where I put it



Try publishing your iCal calendar to that address as well to make sure things are working. I got the same error you stated when I renamed the folder and changed the addresses from /ical to /WebDav. To get it working again, I had to run the terminal commands the guy lists at the bottom of Post #5 in the first link I posted, I guess to restart apache. Did you run those last three commands?

I'm still not any clearer on why OF (Mac) is syncing to my WebDAV server -- no errors -- but is just leaving empty directories there. As of now there are 10 on the day:

OmniFocus.ofocus-copy-in-progress-bHuqa7MtNL5/
OmniFocus.ofocus-copy-in-progress-bT76XIdVwDi/
OmniFocus.ofocus-copy-in-progress-bawGH9pYmaX/

OmniFocus.ofocus-copy-in-progress-cpub0nfW3er/
OmniFocus.ofocus-copy-in-progress-dJBBS45gKal/

OmniFocus.ofocus-copy-in-progress-fdD9uAVEdl8/
OmniFocus.ofocus-copy-in-progress-odptvmCdXJN/

Others seem to have had the same experience.

If you carefully watch OmniFocus on your Mac as it "syncs" to WebDAV, you should notice that the progress bar never fills--it just stays empty, until OmniFocus decides that it's successfully synced. Contrast this to doing a sync to disk, and you'll see that even fast syncs fill the progress bar.

For some reason, OmniFocus just isn't finishing its WebDAV syncs. I tried copying a disk-synced file to a WebDAV server, and the iPhone app sees the database, but no data shows up.

Yes, this is exactly what I'm seeing. I don't have any control over the WebDAV server, so I can't rule out it being a problem on that end; but since OF isn't giving any errors, I would guess the problem lies with OF.

Thanks, I got my own hosted WebDAV working! I used the previously mentioned forum link with the post #5 directions. My troubles were remedied with the following command
"Apple changed the Apache installed in Leopard from 1.x to 2.x. This breaks stuff horribly as the config files are a bit different and you can't simply copy your old one over to the new /etc/apache2/ directory. I used bbedit to diff the two files and merge some stuff, but was still unable to get aliases outside the document root working. Then I came across a hint that suggests a simple fix:
"You will find a Deny from all under <Directory /> (line 177 or alike). Change it to Allow from all."

This fixed the permission errors I was getting for stuff like phpMyAdmin and my iTunes folder which I can access remotely once again.
/cheer"

Now I'll just wait for the ipod touch software update, I can't wait to test this out!!:)

...huh. Somehow my data just showed up on my iPhone. I'm not sure if MobileMe came up or what. If anyone here is just using WebDAV until MobileMe comes back, you might try iDisk syncing again.

These were the easiest instructions for me to follow http://www.timefold.com/osx/tips/webdavical.html

There was a syntax problem with the httpd.conf file. The Directory and LimitExcept tags need to be closed. So, it should be
# WebDAV folder
<Directory "/Library/WebServer/Documents/dav">
DAV On
AuthName 'WebDAV'
AuthType Basic
AuthUserFile /etc/apache2/.htpasswd
AuthGroupFile /dev/null
<LimitExcept GET HEAD OPTIONS>
require valid-user
</LimitExcept>
</Directory>

Hope this helps somebody.

I'm dreading figuring this out...how long did it take you to get web dav up? can you post new, clearer instructions please?

Thanks!
