WebDAV vs. Drupal .htaccess Redirect rules

So I was trying to setup a WebDAV share to allow us to share calendars using ical. I turned on the webdav, was able to connect fine, but I couldn’t upload anything. I got these errors:

[Fri Jul 20 16:13:35 2007] [error] [client 128.238.56.129] Unable to PUT new contents for /ical/.DS_Store. [403, #0]
[Fri Jul 20 16:13:35 2007] [error] [client 128.238.56.129] (2)No such file or directory: An error occurred while opening a resource. [500, #0]

[Fri Jul 20 16:13:45 2007] [error] [client 128.238.56.129] (2)No such file or directory: An error occurred while opening a resource. [500, #0]

After banging my head a lot, and much web searching, I found this thread:

So it turns out I had the same problem. So I created a .htaccess in the folder in question, and added this to it:


RewriteEngine off

Now it works. Yay!
