Apache, WebDAV, Outlook You cannot make changes to contents of this read-only folder
I've enabled DAV on apache and have published a calendar from Outlook to the DAV server. I have been successfully able to Share with another user and that user could subscribe to the calendar.
Problem: I want the invited/subscribed user to be able to update the shared calendar, but when he tried he gets:
"You cannot make changes to contents of this read-only folder"
How do I fix this?

This solution is only available to members.
To access this solution, you must be a member of Experts Exchange.
Try this workaround, enable "Change" permissions for the user who you want to be able to modify your calendar in Exchange User Permissions. Then they should be able to modify your calender via File -> Open -> Other Users Folder -> Calendar
I believe the user will be able to edit the calender folder at this point.
Why not have everyone share their individual calendars with each other? Then you can just view each others calendars as needed.
If you had a single calendar that had say 10 peoples schedules on it, but you couldn't filter out certain people, it would likely become so 'noisy' you'd have a hard time deciphering who is doing what. For example, on Monday between 8-9 there could be 10 different appointments booked on top of each other, but if you were wondering what "Sue" was doing, you'd have to click through every appointment trying to find what she slotted.
Notification of the invite? Or are you wanting them to be notified of an event they have not confirmed?
I'd start a new question for this.

Well, that sucks a bit. I'm trying to implement an office calendar where everyone can post their respective schedules for everyone to see.

I noticed that only the owner get's notified of events. Is there a way to cause notifications to go to all Calendar invitees

I implemented this DAV using just http for testing, but in real life I want it to be https. Is there a way to change the Location without removing the calendar from the server and re-adding the invitees? I have a feeling the answer is "no". If that's the case, do I first have to delete the calendar on the invitees workstations or otherwise un-subscribe them in some way before removing from the Server?

enable "Change" permissions for the user who you want to be able to modify your calendar in Exchange User PermissionsKeyword there is "Exchange". Remember, no Exchange.
Why not have everyone share their individual calendars with each other?Not an option in this case. No one want to go to 10 different calendars to view/coordinate.
Notification of the invite? Or are you wanting them to be notified of an event they have not confirmed?Invitee gets notified OK. I'm talking about subsequent notification of the previously invited members of events on the calendar. For example, if Jane is going to be in a meeting at 12:30, all invitees get a "Reminder" of Jane's meeting.

Lucas Bishop:
Why not have everyone share their individual calendars with each other?The users decided that if they can't all have update access to the office calendar they will forego using that and all share individual calendars.
... are you wanting them to be notified of an event they have not confirmed?The current shared office calendar does not notify everyone of events (I thought it did), so no big deal there. Status quo.

Although, this site http://homeservershow.com/sharing-calendars-on-your-windows-home-server.html seemed to imply it could be done:
Are they all wet or am I misunderstanding?
Meanwhile, a couple of more "issues" ...
I noticed that only the owner get's notified of events. Is there a way to cause notifications to go to all Calendar invitees? Things like "Office meeting in conference room 1", scheduled for 1:30, etc.

That's what we're running now with SBS 2008. However, we need to upgrade the domain server and Microsoft has not only dropped the SBS product, but doesn't support Exchange on Server Essentials. So, we're kind of screwed and I'm trying to reproduce functionality elsewise.
