[Cialug] Evolution setup: want just calendar

[Stuart Thiessen]

It is my understanding that .ics files accessed through the web are usuallu read-only anyhow. Unless you have set up WebDAV or something. I have only dabbled since I only needed the read-only anyway.

I don't know much about how Evolution is trying to access the .ics
file, but this might be what's going on:

I believe 755 translates to:
  user has r, w and x
  group has r and x
  other has r and x

If you are accessing the file from a URL
(http://web.site.net/calendar.ics), then the file is being accessed by
the account which is running the Web server (typically, nobody).  This
account is likely a member of 'other', therefore it has only r and x
permissions, thus the read only status in Evolution.

Again, I know nothing of how Evolution is trying to access the file,
so the above may be patently false.
