Hints for improving your installation and tuning it

Use phlyMail's events externally (iCal, iPhone, ...)

The events stored in your phlyMail installation can easily be shared with external applications. These just have to able to read ICS files (iCal format) and allow to read those files from the web. This includes, but is not limited to: Mozilla Sunbird, Mozilla Thunderbird with the "Lightning" Add-on, Apple iCal, Apple iPhone / iPod touch.
You can either share all your events or just those from a specific calendar.

Follow these few steps:
- right-click in the folders' list on the calendar you wish to share
- select "Properties"
- follow the instructions in the block "External Access (ICS)"

The external application should ask you for your user name and password. Just enter the credentials you use to login to phlyMail.

As of build 3.7.25 you can also use this feature with PHP run as CGI, as long as your Apache supports rewrite rules through mod_rewrite. Just add the following rules to your .htaccess file:
Code: Select all
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} api.php$
RewriteCond %{HTTP:Authorization} ^Basic.*
RewriteRule (.*) api.php?RewriteFakeAuth=%{HTTP:Authorization} [QSA,L]

You may need to adopt the paths to your installation.
