Ical HowTo using Sunbird or Thunderbird/Lightning

Note: This is not an official Horde document. There is no write support in Horde 3.1/Kronolith 2.1


This document is intended to help administrators configure various parts of horde to link a calendar application with Kronolith. Please feel free to fill in any gaps or to clarify any existing information presented here.


Document Standards

In this document, we assume the following:

  • The latest stable version of Horde and Kronolith.
    • A working version of Horde and Kronolith.
    • A working version of Sunbird or Thunderbird/Lightning extension.

On debian

  • Install php pear package as follow:


apt-get install php4-pear

You can also use php5 package.

HTTP_WebDAV_Server

Then to make sure pear is working:



pear config-show

You now need to install the pear HTTP_WebDAV_Server package



pear install HTTP_WebDAV_Server-beta

Test it

Launch your Sunbird or Lightning application.

  • Go to calendar
    • New ->
    • On the Network -> iCalendar

https://yourhost/yourhordepath/rpc.php/kronolith/YOUR-HORDE-USERNAME.ics

15/05/08: Starting with Horde Webmail 1.1 RC4, and as pointed out in that thread, this URL has to be changed like below:

https://yourhost/yourhordepath/rpc.php/kronolith/YOUR-HORDE-USERNAME/YOUR-HORDE-USERNAME.ics

It should ask you for user and password.

Then you should see you calendar and be able to edit events in both Sunbird/Lightning and Kronolith.

I can read my calendar perfectly but not publish. My apache returns a 404 or 403.

Then it should work according to this:

26/03/08: With Lightning v0.7 and Horde Webmail 1.1RC3, reading and publishing works correctly with a remote calendar as described on this page.

This does work very nicely with sunbird 0.7 and kronolith 2.2, you must select ical (not webdav) but you do get two way editing.
