What’s the iCal subscription URL? When I publish a Calendar from  
iCal, I got two urls:

- first one to display the calendar html page: [http://ical.mac.com/](http://ical.mac.com/)  
\<my\_account\>/\<my\_calendar\>
- second to subscribe to the calendar: webcal://ical.mac.com/  
\<my\_account\>/\<my\_calendar\>.ics

I tried with both but I am unable to get the Event Calendar extension  
to work, i.e. the refresh button does not get the events. So my  
questions:  
1.- which of these urls should I set in the Admin → Event calendars -

> my\_calendar (I suspect the webcal://)?  
> 2.- should I change something else in configuration files or any  
> calendar document?

Joel,

Whatever address spits out a .ics file is correct, however, i suspect  
the “webcal://” prefix is going to cause Ruby net/http to hiccup.  
Have you tried:  
[http://ical.mac.com/](http://ical.mac.com/)\<my\_account\>/\<my\_calendar\>.ics

As long as .Mac allows that, it should work.

> 2.- should I change something else in configuration files or any  
> calendar document?

As long as you went through the steps in the README installing the  
VPIM gem and creating / setting the requisite ical directory under  
public then you should be good to go.

Good luck, let me know how it goes.
