Mac hang on boot after ical server install

[mordzy]

Hi,

I have a mac pro running 10.8. i am also running vmware fusion in which i have a 10.8 virtual machine that i was using to test wikis. i have since enabled the ical server service. at which point the server locked up. (cant ping or move mouse)

Figured it was my VM so i built a fresh server that does the exact same.

I can get in in safe mode which runs ok but i cant stop the ical service. mainly because i cant seem to authenticate using the server applet. i assume because the safe mode doesnt load these components.

Anyway. i dont know whats causing the ical server to hang the machine but i need to stop in starting on boot.

How can i do this?

can anyone tell me how to stop the ical server starting?

for anyone else who might come across this. you need to do the following

Boot in safe mode (hold shift at power on)

edit the file;
'etc/caldavd/caldavd.plist'

change the following line

EnableCalDAV to <false/>

worked it out after lots of messing. i still dont know whats causing the hang but at least you can turn it off.
