DAViCal is a server for calendar sharing. It is an implementation of the
CalDAV protocol which is designed for storing calendaring resources (in
iCalendar format) on a remote shared server.

DAViCal supports basic delegation of read/write access among calendar users,
multiple users (or clients) reading and writing the same calendar entries over
time, and scheduling of meetings with free/busy time displayed.

An increasing number of calendar clients support the maintenance of shared
remote calendars through CalDAV, including Evolution, Mulberry, Chandler,
Mozilla Calendar (Sunbird/Lightning), and various other closed-source
products such as Apple's iCal and iPhone.

For pkgsrc installations, DAViCal's package is installed in non-default
locations:
Document root: ${DAVICALDIR}/htdocs
Configuration file: ${PKG_SYSCONFDIR}/config.php
To complete the installation of DAViCal, follow these steps:
1. Create DAViCal's app (application) and dba (database admin) acounts:
$ su pgsql
$ createuser -D -R -S --pwprompt davical_app
<enter davical_app passwd>
$ createuser -D -R -S --pwprompt davical_dba
<enter davical_dba passwd>
2. Edit pg_hba.conf file to add the davical_dba and davical_app users
local davical davical_app md5
local davical davical_dba md5
then restart pgsql.
3. Create DAViCal's database
su pgsql ${DAVICALDIR}/dba/create-database.sh
The script will output the password of 'admin' account for DAViCal.
Keep it in mind, it will be used at step 6.
4. Adapt DAViCal configuration file to your setup:
${PKG_SYSCONFDIR}/config.php
Look for 'pg_connect', 'system_name', 'admin_email', and 'default_locale'.
5. You will need to make DAViCal accessible through your HTTP server.
If you are running Apache and ap-php, you can use the following file:
${PKG_SYSCONFDIR}/davical.conf
and add an Include directive directly within Apache configuration:
Include ${PKG_SYSCONFDIR}/davical.conf
then restart Apache.
6. You should now be able to access DAViCal through the URL configured
within DAViCal's configuration file. At login page, enter the following
credentials:
Login: admin
Password: <the one obtained in step 3.>
Validate, then follow the steps to create user accounts. See DAViCal
online documentation for further information:
