Storing AB, Calendar, and Bookmarks on WebDAV

Hi,
I'm looking into converting my mail, pim, and browser functions to KDE apps (from mozilla). Currently, I store my address book, calendar and bookmarks on a webDAV server, and they are shared by multiple family members from more than one workstation. (Mail is IMAP, so it automatically shares properly). This is a tremendous advantage, and I don't want to give up having those common files.

Converting/importing the information is NOT a problem, but I'd be interested in hearing if anyone has shared these files via webDAV, and how you did your configuration. Also, if you had any issues setting up the configurations.

TIA,

Dan

for your addresbook and calendar, you can point the applications to the remote webdav server.
in korganizer you should configure a remote calendar resource, pointing it to the webdav-server, with webdav:/ in its URL.

Thanks, I converted a few addresses, and placed the vcf file on my webdav server. (tested first to make sure the addresses loaded into kmail/addressbook first - worked fine). Adding an address book gives the option for a groupdav file. Selecting that returns with a new, empty address book, that doesn't have the webdav files, nor does it save anything.

Are you using a conventional apache webdav server, or is there something special for kde? Also, are you using davfs2? I haven't installed it yet (haven't needed it), but will try that if it resolves the problem.

again, thanks for the quick reply...
