Pre-Requisites

Create a Virtual Host for SabreDAV. SabreDAV should be accessed via a Virtual Host to serve its content. You can create a Virtual Host using the following command:
sudo nano /etc/apache2/other/sabredav.confThis will open up a new file "sabredav.conf" in the nano text editor. Paste the following code into this file.
<VirtualHost *:80> DocumentRoot "/var/www/html/sabredav/public" ServerName sabredav.local <Directory "/var/www/html/sabredav/public"> AllowOverride All Order Allow,Deny Allow from All </Directory> </VirtualHost>This code creates a Virtual Host that listens on port 80 with the ServerName of "sabredav.local" and sets the DocumentRoot to "/var/www/html/sabredav/public".
Save the file by pressing "Control + O" and then exit the nano text editor by pressing "Control + X".
