Can't Publish Calendar to WebDav
Hi all, have spent the last week trying to get this to work and am at the end of my technical knowledge on the matter. I hope someone here can help.My wife and I have seperate logins and we both run Outlook 2007. I want us to be able to share an Outlook Calendar and want to do it on the local machine. Here's the steps I've gone through.1. Create a folder on C: called "Calendar"2. Shared the folder and made myself the Owner and the wife the Co-owner3. Mapped a network drive to by doing this:Map Network DriveConnect to a Website that you can use to store your documents and picturesChoose a custom network locationEntered \\Localmachine\Calendar as the network addressCalled the shared drive "Calendar"The folder is now shared and is also visible as a network location (\\Localmachine\Calendar)4. Started IIS. Right click on Sites and click Add web site.Site name: CalendarPhysical path: \\Localmachine\CalendarConnect as: Application userType: http - All Unassigned - Port 80No host nameTest the settings and everything is fine.5. Right click Sites>Calendar and Add Virtual DirectoryAlias: CalendarPhysical path: \\Localmachine\Calendar Connect as: Application user6. Checked the permissions for the site "Calendar". Turned sharing on.7. Go to the advanced settings of the DefaultAppPoolChange the identity to a Custom AccountPut my Vista login username and password inIf I go to the VIrtual Directory in IIS and click on Browse *.80 I can see the folder and anything I put in it from within my browser.If I now go into Outlook and tell it to publish the calendar to: http://Localmachine/calendar I get:"The upload of "Calendar" failed. There was a problem with the request."I'm guessing I've missed out an important step somewhere along the line but for the life of me cannot figure out what I've done wrong. I've trawled the net trying to find an answer and turn to you guys as my last resort.Any ideas?Thanks.
