[Using Sakai] Calendar Subscriptions

Tue Oct 25 05:41:46 PDT 2011

Mind if I redirect this discussion just a bit?

	At Brock University we haven't been able to get iCal subscriptions working through 2.7 and 2.8 on our production load-balanced system (as it does in HSQLDB demos). Right now, we always get 404s.

	Could anyone direct us towards a solution?  We're not sure if its a problem with aliases, or if we need to add a .anon role to sites, or something else.

Thanks,
