Ok, solved it by using an include file, following these:
https://documentation.cpanel.net/display/EA/Modify+Virtualhost+Containers+With+Include+Files
And using:
<Directory /home/yourusername/public_html/folder>
<Limit PUT>
allow from all
</Limit>
</Directory>

Hello,
Could you elaborate on the Mod_Security issues? What error messages do you see in /usr/local/apache/logs/error_log when this happens?
Thank you.

Thanks Michael and Peter for following this thread. It's finally solved. It was still mod security issues and a bit of .htaccess rules to forward the request accordingly.
2 mod security rules were blocking the requests:
ID 1234123435
ID 1234123429
Disable them or modify them. I disabled them.
To sum up for future reference:
This is the include file for the vhost to enable PUt method:
This is the .htaccess content (with basic auth):
This is the put.php file that will handle the PUT request:
Everything has to be in the same folder or update your paths accordingly.

Code:
<Directory /path/to/specific/folder/to/handle/put/requests>
<Limit PUT GET POST DELETE HEAD OPTIONS>
Order allow,deny
Allow from all

Code:
AuthType Basic
AuthName "Your title"
AuthUserFile "/path/to/passwd"
require valid-user
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -s [OR]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -l [OR]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -d
RewriteRule ^.+$ - [NC,L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_METHOD} (PUT|DELETE)
RewriteRule .* put.php
PHP:
$putdata = fopen("php://input", "r");
$file="your_filename.txt";
$fp = fopen($file, "w");
while ($data = fread($putdata, 1024)){
fwrite($fp, $data);
}
fclose($fp);
fclose($putdata);I have client that has requested this. I have tried implementing by following documentation and creating a user defined .conf file. Haven't tried the .htaccess yet as I am not sure what part it plays. But it so far hasn't worked.
Hello
You mentioned following the documentation and creating a user defined .conf file. Could you let us know which specific steps you have taken so we can determine if you made any mistakes?
Thank you.
Sure. I followed the steps at Modify Virtualhost Containers With Include Files - EasyApache - cPanel Documentation in that, as I am running Apache 2.2 and this is a non SSL account I went to /usr/local/apache/conf/userdata/std/2_2/
I created a userdirectory as one for that user didn't exist. Then in that directory I created directory for the domain (ie user.com). In that directory I created a file called allowput.conf. In that file I put:
<Directory /home/theusername/public_html/testcalendar>
<Limit PUT GET POST DELETE HEAD OPTIONS>
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Limit>
</Directory>
</Directory>
Then I restarted Apached.
Now one complication may be that I am using Cloud Linux. But just in case that would cause some change like this to not work I ran cagefsctl --force-update.

This is what forwards the PUT request. You must follow the step that suggests editing the .htaccess and creating the put.php file if you want to take the same action as the original poster. Note the Authorization entries in the example .htaccess file provided by the original poster are only required if you are password protecting the directory.
Thank you.
OK I created the put.php file and chownd to the user. Although I did put *.ics for the $filename. And we have the .htaccess in there withouth the password lines. Still getting a 500 error.
What's the specific error output to /usr/local/apache/logs/error_log when this happens? Have you tried entering one specific filename instead of a wildcard to see if you get the same result?
Thank you.
There is nothing related to this in /usr/local/apache/logs/error_log. I changed it back to the specific file name in put.php and asked him to try again. He got the same result. I checked the error_log again. Nothing for the domain for today. I asked him for a screen shot of what happens when he tries this and the erro mesage is from his desktop Calendar app. So, it may not be getting written to the logfile.
At one point the screen shot said: "path to location" is not a location that supports this request.
Later after adding the .htaccess and put.php with the specific file he was trying to put (a .ics file) it just said "failed. The server responded with "500".

We won't be able to troubleshoot your custom script, but you can open a support ticket using the link in my signature so we can review your Apache logs to determine if there's any output related to that connection attempt. Post the ticket number here and we can update this thread with the outcome.
Thank you.
Thank you.
