Enable WebDav in Lighttpd - ligthy's mod_webdav

To enable WebDav in Lighttpd, e.g. to serve ics-style calendars for Mozilla Thunderbird simply edit

/etc/lighttpd/lighttpd.conf

and append following lines - adopt them to your needs

$HTTP["host"] == "mydomain.tld" {
alias.url = ( "/mypath" => "/were/the/files/are/" )
$HTTP["url"] =~ "^/mypath($|/)" {
webdav.activate = "enable"
webdav.is-readonly = "disable"
webdav.sqlite-db-name = "/var/run/lighttpd/lighttpd.webdav_lock.db"
}
}

then go to the top of this very file and enable the module

server.modules = (
"mod_access",
"mod_alias",
"mod_webdav",

Gracefully restart the daemon and you are done

/etc/init.d/lighttpd force-reload
