publishing calendars
by Brett Moreton 15 Dec '06

15 Dec '06

I am a little confused as to how I publish calendars onto the server. I've got the server running and am trying to publish a .ics file from Chandler. It won't let me put the path as /calendars/users/admin or any of the users. the only way i can get read/write access is if i put the path as / I think i'm supposed to do something to configure the principals, but i'm not sure what.

Errors with group based access control
by Frank Strauß 15 Dec '06

This happens when I try to "get details" in Mulberry on a group's directory, no matter whether I am a member of that group or not.

Problems with current trunk revision 788
by Frank Strauß 12 Dec '06

12 Dec '06

Hi, I'm slightly confused with the software as it is with a fresh SVN checkout (revision 788). There have been some major changes, so that it's not trivial to me to find out what causes my problems. One symptom is that /calendars/ no longer gets provisioned. I looked at the code and could find no longer any place where repository.xml gets parsed, since repository.py is completely gone. Am I doing something wrong? Or have just some non-finished changes been checked into SVN before the weekend?

UTF-8 Encoding Problem
by Frank Strauß 08 Dec '06

08 Dec '06

Hi, I just started playing with the CalendarServer. During my first attempts to PUT events on the server (using Mulberry for now) I observed a bug, which you are probably already aware off, since Wilfredo also has a non-ASCII character in his name. :-)... When a request submitted to the server contains non-ascii characters, the server raises an error like this: 2006/12/08 01:01 +0200 [-] "Error while handling (calendar) PUT: 'ascii' codec can't encode character u'\\xdf' in position 321: ordinal not in range(128)" All I know about Python is, that it's worth to learn it. :-/ So I do not have enough skills to do a backtrace and find out where this should be fixed, in Twisted or in the CalendarServer, or elsewhere. All I did so far, is a tcpdump trace so that I can say, that the client has most probably set the Content-Type properly (text/calendar; charset=utf-8), but I'm not sure what else I should check. If someone would like to look at my tcpdump trace, the file can be downloaded from http://www.ibr.cs.tu-bs.de/users/strauss/caldav.tcpdump Thanks, -frank

Installing caldavd permanently on debian
by Miro Dietiker 08 Dec '06

08 Dec '06

Hi Installers ;-) After successfully compiling caldavd and "test-running" it i'd like to do a permanent installation on my system asking you for a "howto": I found the ./run -i (or -I) option to install, but there are lot of questions... When i call so, specifying a user-path as target /usr/bin/caldavd it builds a structure under it which looks like to be intended as installed into "/" but i didn't get the real difference to the -I... Finally i'm looking for a "system installation" as long as it matches my understanding of system path and location usage (and this seems to be OK to me). After trying in several ways: caldavd is no more startable directly: till now i didn't find a way to get it work. What's the reason for /usr/caldavd/* ((configuration, expected in /etc/caldavd?)) /usr/pysqlite2-doc ((documentation, expected in /usr/share/doc/pysqlite2-doc )) OK, if this module is already installed it disappears... After installation: what's the expected way for invocation? since ./run is no more existing there, i tryed it with usr/bin/caldavd where libs seems missing.. Trying to add the PATHONPATH var leading to no success - it always asks for something, say: "twistd does not exist: ../Twistd/bin/twistd" I would expect to have a resulting program location, say /usr/sbin/caldavd directly invokeable whereafter i can implement a /etc/init.d/caldavd to controle it in debian-style. Finally i'd like to run caldavd under a specific user, say caldavd. May you specify a list where it needs to be owner / rw access? Any input on this topic would be great! Thanks - Miro

Inappropriate file type for dynamic loading
by Brett Moreton 07 Dec '06

07 Dec '06

hello sorry to email you at your private address but i'm having a similar problem that you had when trying to run the calendar server. I read your posts on the mail lists but can't figure out what you did to solve your problem. my PyXML is also being built for PPC and not intel, how did you get around this? many thanks for your help Brett

still problems with ./run
by Brett Moreton 07 Dec '06

07 Dec '06

I am having problems getting the server running, error message: "Inappropriate file type for dynamic loading" after reading previous messages i think this is something to do with the fact i'm using an intel mac, and its building a PPC version of PyXML. How can i install an intel only version of Python? Thanks

Configuration changes to the Calendar Server
by Wilfredo Sánchez Vega 02 Dec '06

02 Dec '06

Today, I merged some changes to the trunk which significantly change how the Calendar Server is configured. If you have a working configuration and do an update, you'll need to make some changes. I've updated the README file and the web site to reflect these changes, and documented them as well as I could. In particular, you'll want to check out: http://trac.macosforge.org/projects/calendarserver/wiki/QuickStart http://trac.macosforge.org/projects/calendarserver/wiki/DirectoryService http://trac.macosforge.org/projects/calendarserver/wiki/RepositoryXML Note that repository.xml no longer contains account and authentication information. That has now moved to caldavd.plist and the new directory service functionality. The new directory service functionality now allows for different back-ends for provisioning principal information, and neatly contains all of that in one place. You no longer have different repository.xml files depending on the back-end. Back-ends include Apache user/group files, an updated XML file format, and OpenDirectory. Regards, -wsv
