[eGroupWare-users] Get Mozilla Thunderbird/Lightning Calendar to work with EGW - SOLVED!

[Tom P. <tpl...@bk...>]

Hi All,

I have been struggling with this for a while. Kept getting a request for 
a password, I would put it in then another request etc.. Strange thing 
is sometimes it would work and an event would be added, but then the 
Tbird calendar would be set to read only! Set it back to read-write and 
the calendar would go out of sync....
Anyway, I could not find a clear answer in any one place, but I put the 
following together and it works smoothly!

I'm running EGW 14.2.005 on CentOS 6.7.
You must do all of this as "root"!
Go to /usr/share/egroupware and open up the file egroupware.htaccess for 
editing, I used VIM. You should see a line "ReWriteEngine On" followed 
by lines containing several ReWriteRule and ReWriteCond statements. At 
the end of those start a new line and add the following line:

RewriteRule .* - [E=HTTP_AUTHORIZATION:%{HTTP:Authorization},L]

Save the file and exit. Copy the egroupware.htaccess file to .htaccess 
in the same directory.

Go to the folder /etc/httpd/conf.d . Open the file egroupware.conf for 
editing. Find the section that starts with <Directory 
/usr/share/egroupware/>. In that section should be a line that reads 
"AllowOverride None". Change that to read "AllowOverride FileInfo". Save 
the file and exit.

Restart the apache web server: service httpd restart.
You are done! I hope this is helpful to someone!
