I had the following problem:
after installing Owncloud v7.0.1 on my server (with the hoststar software-center)
it was possible to up/download files to my owncloud with the webinterface
and create calendar entries with the webinterface and see them in iCal etc.
but
it was not possible to create calendar entries in iCal (error 403 – forbidden) or
sync files to the server that were copied to my owncloud-client-folder in Finder
(owncloud client says: Error downloading … server replied: Forbidden). I found it
out when I needed some files on another computer and they were not online though
i put them in my owncloud-client-folder in Finder and the little gray cloud symbol showed
me the ‚everything synced‘-green check-mark. later I found that in owncloud…properties…
activity… there were tons of error messages!
this resolved the problem:
connect to the server via sftp/ftp and go to the owncloud-install-folder
find the file .htaccess and open it
add the following lines to .htaccess from the reference (forum.owncloud.org):
