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.
