CalendarServer configuration
by John Berliner 10 Dec '08

10 Dec '08

For some unknown reason CalendarServer, running latest trunk version on FreeBSD 7, was hanging on startup. So I checked out release 1.3 and at least the server will start up again. Now I can browse collections with a web browser. But creating usable calendars continues to be problematic. Sunbird will let me specify a calendar on the server, without complaining, but if I try to write to it, I get a "MODIFICATION_FAILED" message. I have configured a very basic accounts.xml file with 4 users and 2 groups. No GUIDs in the XML file. Here are the server logs, with a couple of ##comments inserted. When I restart Sunbird, I don't get any error messages, the server notes that it has found my calendars, etc. Any help is much appreciated! I have been trying to get this work for quite a while now. Two asides: 1) is installing on an OS X box (vs. FreeBSD) likely to be smoother? 2) version 1.3 does not seem to be built with memcached support? ##startup 2008-12-09 15:16:26-0800 [-] Log opened. 2008-12-09 15:16:26-0800 [-] twistd 2.5.0+rUnknown (/usr/local/bin/ python 2.5.2) starting up 2008-12-09 15:16:26-0800 [-] reactor class: <class 'twisted.internet.selectreactor.SelectReactor'> 2008-12-09 15:16:26-0800 [-] Could not autodetect number of CPUs: 2008-12-09 15:16:26-0800 [-] getNCPU not supported on freebsd7 2008-12-09 15:16:26-0800 [-] twistedcaldav.logging.AMPLoggingFactory starting on "'logs/caldavd.sock'" 2008-12-09 15:16:27-0800 [-] [caldav-8008] [-] Log opened. 2008-12-09 15:16:27-0800 [-] [caldav-8008] [-] twistd 2.5.0+rUnknown (/usr/local/bin/python 2.5.2) starting up 2008-12-09 15:16:27-0800 [-] [caldav-8008] [-] reactor class: <class 'twisted.internet.selectreactor.SelectReactor'> 2008-12-09 15:16:27-0800 [-] [caldav-8008] [startup] Configuring directory service of type: twistedcaldav.directory.xmlfile.XMLDirectoryService 2008-12-09 15:16:27-0800 [-] [caldav-8008] [startup] Configuring SudoDirectoryService with file: conf/sudoers.plist 2008-12-09 15:16:27-0800 [-] [caldav-8008] [startup] Setting up document root at: twistedcaldav/test/data/ 2008-12-09 15:16:27-0800 [-] [caldav-8008] [startup] Setting up principal collection: <class 'twistedcaldav.directory.principal.DirectoryPrincipalProvisioningResourc e'> 2008-12-09 15:16:27-0800 [-] [caldav-8008] [startup] Setting up calendar collection: <class 'twistedcaldav.static.CalendarHomeProvisioningFile'> 2008-12-09 15:16:27-0800 [-] [caldav-8008] [startup] Setting up root resource: <class 'twistedcaldav.root.RootResource'> 2008-12-09 15:16:27-0800 [-] [caldav-8008] [startup] Setting up default ACEs on root resource 2008-12-09 15:16:27-0800 [-] [caldav-8008] [-] Setting up AdminPrincipals 2008-12-09 15:16:27-0800 [-] [caldav-8008] [-] Setting root ACL 2008-12-09 15:16:27-0800 [-] [caldav-8008] [startup] Setting up Timezone Cache 2008-12-09 15:16:27-0800 [-] [caldav-8008] [startup] Configuring authentication for realm: Live Oak 2008-12-09 15:16:27-0800 [-] [caldav-8008] [startup] Setting up scheme: kerberos 2008-12-09 15:16:27-0800 [-] [caldav-8008] [startup] Kerberos support not available 2008-12-09 15:16:27-0800 [-] [caldav-8008] [startup] Setting up scheme: digest 2008-12-09 15:16:27-0800 [-] [caldav-8008] [startup] Setting up scheme: basic 2008-12-09 15:16:27-0800 [-] [caldav-8008] [-] Configuring authentication wrapper 2008-12-09 15:16:27-0800 [-] [caldav-8008] [-] Setting up service 2008-12-09 15:16:27-0800 [-] [caldav-8008] [startup] Configuring log observer: <twistedcaldav.logging.AMPCommonAccessLoggingObserver object at 0x290ce56c> 2008-12-09 15:16:27-0800 [-] [caldav-8008] [startup] Adding server at 192.168.1.61:8008 2008-12-09 15:16:27-0800 [-] [caldav-8008] [-] twisted.web2.channel.http.HTTPFactory starting on 8008 2008-12-09 15:16:27-0800 [-] [caldav-8008] [-] Starting factory <twisted.web2.channel.http.HTTPFactory instance at 0x290ce60c> 2008-12-09 15:16:27-0800 [twistedcaldav.logging.AMPLoggingFactory] AMPLoggingProtocol connection established (HOST:UNIXSocket('logs/ caldavd.sock') PEER:UNIXSocket('')) 2008-12-09 15:16:27-0800 [-] [caldav-8008] [-] AMP connection established (HOST:UNIXSocket(None) PEER:UNIXSocket('logs/caldavd.sock')) ##adding new calendar in Sunbird for group admins;

Calendar server lost calendars
by Antti Hermunen 09 Dec '08

09 Dec '08

Hi! I'm running Mac OS X Server 10.5.5 with the Calendar server - Had to replace a failed hard drive on the server and after the changeover iCal Server stopped working. My guess is that cloning the system and booting off that system on a drive with a different volume name somehow borked the OpenDirectory settings for iCal Server. My problem is that I don't know how to get back to a functioning state :( The calendar data is still there - all 180 Mb of it but the status window in Server Admin says that there are no users, calendars etc. and the calendars have disappeared from the CalDAV clients i.e. iCal. please help or shine a ray of hope into my bleak situation :) Antti H The startup log of the calendar process is quoted below > 2008-12-05 22:08:52+0200 [-] Log opened. > 2008-12-05 22:08:52+0200 [-] twistd 2.5.0 (/System/Library/ > Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.5/Resources/Python.app/ > Contents/MacOS/Python 2.5.1) starting up > 2008-12-05 22:08:52+0200 [-] reactor class: <class > 'twisted.internet.selectreactor.SelectReactor'> > 2008-12-05 22:08:52+0200 [-] 2 processors found, configuring 2 > processes. > 2008-12-05 22:08:52+0200 [-] Adding pydirector service with > configuration: /tmp/pydirjiEZBY > 2008-12-05 22:08:52+0200 [-] twistedcaldav.logging.AMPLoggingFactory > starting on "'/var/run/caldavd.sock'" > 2008-12-05 22:08:54+0200 [-] [caldav-8010] [-] Log opened. > 2008-12-05 22:08:54+0200 [-] [caldav-8010] [-] twistd 2.5.0 (/ > System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.5/Resources/ > Python.app/Contents/MacOS/Python 2.5.1) starting up > 2008-12-05 22:08:54+0200 [-] [caldav-8010] [-] reactor class: > <class 'twisted.internet.selectreactor.SelectReactor'> > 2008-12-05 22:08:54+0200 [-] [caldav-8009] [-] Log opened. > 2008-12-05 22:08:54+0200 [-] [caldav-8009] [-] twistd 2.5.0 (/ > System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.5/Resources/ > Python.app/Contents/MacOS/Python 2.5.1) starting up > 2008-12-05 22:08:54+0200 [-] [caldav-8009] [-] reactor class: > <class 'twisted.internet.selectreactor.SelectReactor'> > 2008-12-05 22:08:54+0200 [-] [caldav-8010] [startup] Configuring > directory service of type: > twistedcaldav.directory.appleopendirectory.OpenDirectoryService > 2008-12-05 22:08:54+0200 [-] [caldav-8009] [startup] Configuring > directory service of type: > twistedcaldav.directory.appleopendirectory.OpenDirectoryService > 2008-12-05 22:08:54+0200 [-] [caldav-8010] [OpenDirectoryService] > Matched Directory record: /LDAPv3/127.0.0.1/Computers/ > mail.hasanpartners.fi with ServicesLocator: E88B921D-87A0-4E43-94F8- > F9678856084B:AA33EADB-ABBB-462C-82F1-741FA > 5CAEA3C:calendar, state: enabled > 2008-12-05 22:08:54+0200 [-] [caldav-8010] [OpenDirectoryService] > Enabled ServicesLocator: E88B921D-87A0-4E43-94F8- > F9678856084B:AA33EADB-ABBB-462C-82F1-741FA5CAEA3C:calendar > 2008-12-05 22:08:54+0200 [-] [caldav-8009] [OpenDirectoryService] > Matched Directory record: /LDAPv3/127.0.0.1/Computers/ > mail.hasanpartners.fi with ServicesLocator: E88B921D-87A0-4E43-94F8- > F9678856084B:AA33EADB-ABBB-462C-82F1-741FA > 5CAEA3C:calendar, state: enabled > 2008-12-05 22:08:54+0200 [-] [caldav-8009] [OpenDirectoryService] > Enabled ServicesLocator: E88B921D-87A0-4E43-94F8- > F9678856084B:AA33EADB-ABBB-462C-82F1-741FA5CAEA3C:calendar > 2008-12-05 22:08:54+0200 [-] [caldav-8009] [OpenDirectoryService] > Reloading users record cache > 2008-12-05 22:08:54+0200 [-] [caldav-8010] [OpenDirectoryService] > Reloading users record cache > 2008-12-05 22:08:55+0200 [-] [caldav-8010] [-] "Directory service > <OpenDirectoryService '/Search': '/Search'> has no GUID;

by Frédéric Sidler 09 Dec '08

09 Dec '08

Is is possible to subscribe to external calendar. If yes, how. And how does the auto refresh work. Is it possible to automatically refresh a public ICS calendar on an hourly, daily basis.

Server hangs on startup
by John Berliner 08 Dec '08

08 Dec '08

I have updated source, server was running ok last week... Any good reason or clues why my calendar server would now hang during startup: exec python /usr/local/src/Twisted/bin/twistd -n caldav -f /usr/ local/src/CalendarServer/conf/caldavd-dev.plist -o ProcessType=Combined 2008-12-08 14:05:57-0800 [-] Log opened. 2008-12-08 14:05:57-0800 [-] twistd 2.5.0+rUnknown (/usr/local/bin/ python 2.5.2) starting up 2008-12-08 14:05:57-0800 [-] reactor class: <class 'twisted.internet.selectreactor.SelectReactor'> 2008-12-08 14:05:57-0800 [-] [calendarserver.tap.caldav.CalDAVServiceMaker#error] Unable to detect number of CPUs: getNCPU not supported on freebsd7 2008-12-08 14:05:57-0800 [-] [calendarserver.tap.caldav.CalDAVServiceMaker#info] 0 processors found.

Thanks in advance, John Berliner

Server error _runCallbacks
by John Berliner 08 Dec '08

08 Dec '08

My DCS server was sort of working, sort of! Well, I was getting the memcached error and the invalid GUID error. So I removed all <guid>'s from my accounts.xml file, and, to get memcached to run as another user, I modified conf/caldavd-dev.plist, adding the -u switch as an option to the memcached section:  ... <key>Options</key> <array>  <string>-u</string> <string>root</string> </array> Based on other user posts, I also updated my source with svn update. The server now starts up without any errors, and I can browse the root of the server (myhost:8008), but any attempts to view the collections in /calendars or /principals generates an Internal Server Error on the web client with server log errors included below. I don't know if this is some subversion file checkin issue...any help would be much appreciated! exec python /usr/local/src/Twisted/bin/twistd -n caldav -f /usr/ local/src/CalendarServer/conf/caldavd-dev.plist -o ProcessType=Combined 2008-12-08 10:55:01-0800 [-] Log opened. 2008-12-08 10:55:01-0800 [-] twistd 2.5.0+rUnknown (/usr/local/bin/ python 2.5.2) starting up 2008-12-08 10:55:01-0800 [-] reactor class: <class 'twisted.internet.selectreactor.SelectReactor'> 2008-12-08 10:55:01-0800 [-] [calendarserver.tap.caldav.CalDAVServiceMaker#error] Could not autodetect number of CPUs: getNCPU not supported on freebsd7 2008-12-08 10:55:01-0800 [-] [calendarserver.tap.caldav.CalDAVServiceMaker#error] Assuming one CPU, configuring one process. 2008-12-08 10:55:01-0800 [-] [calendarserver.tap.caldav.CalDAVServiceMaker#info] Adding memcached service 2008-12-08 10:55:01-0800 [-] twistedcaldav.accesslog.AMPLoggingFactory starting on "'logs/ caldavd.sock'" 2008-12-08 10:55:02-0800 [-] [caldav-8008] [-] Log opened. 2008-12-08 10:55:02-0800 [-] [caldav-8008] [-] twistd 2.5.0+rUnknown (/usr/local/bin/python 2.5.2) starting up 2008-12-08 10:55:02-0800 [-] [caldav-8008] [-] reactor class: <class 'twisted.internet.selectreactor.SelectReactor'> 2008-12-08 10:55:02-0800 [-] [caldav-8008] [-] [calendarserver.tap.caldav.CalDAVServiceMaker#info] Configuring directory service of type: twistedcaldav.directory.xmlfile.XMLDirectoryService 2008-12-08 10:55:03-0800 [-] [caldav-8008] [-] [calendarserver.tap.caldav.CalDAVServiceMaker#info] Configuring SudoDirectoryService with file: conf/sudoers.plist 2008-12-08 10:55:03-0800 [-] [caldav-8008] [-] [calendarserver.tap.caldav.CalDAVServiceMaker#info] Setting up document root at: loscalendars/ 2008-12-08 10:55:03-0800 [-] [caldav-8008] [-] [calendarserver.tap.caldav.CalDAVServiceMaker#info] Setting up principal collection: <class 'twistedcaldav.directory.principal.DirectoryPrincipalProvisioningResourc e'> 2008-12-08 10:55:03-0800 [-] [caldav-8008] [-] [calendarserver.tap.caldav.CalDAVServiceMaker#info] Setting up calendar collection: <class 'twistedcaldav.static.CalendarHomeProvisioningFile'> 2008-12-08 10:55:03-0800 [-] [caldav-8008] [-] [calendarserver.tap.caldav.CalDAVServiceMaker#info] Setting up root resource: <class 'twistedcaldav.root.RootResource'> 2008-12-08 10:55:03-0800 [-] [caldav-8008] [-] [calendarserver.tap.caldav.CalDAVServiceMaker#info] Setting up time zone service resource: <class 'twistedcaldav.static.TimezoneServiceFile'> 2008-12-08 10:55:03-0800 [-] [caldav-8008] [-] [calendarserver.tap.caldav.CalDAVServiceMaker#info] Setting up iMIP inbox resource: <class 'twistedcaldav.mail.IMIPInboxResource'> 2008-12-08 10:55:03-0800 [-] [caldav-8008] [-] [calendarserver.tap.caldav.CalDAVServiceMaker#info] Setting up Timezone Cache 2008-12-08 10:55:03-0800 [-] [caldav-8008] [-] [calendarserver.tap.caldav.CalDAVServiceMaker#info] Configuring authentication for realm: Live Oak Calendars 2008-12-08 10:55:03-0800 [-] [caldav-8008] [-] [calendarserver.tap.caldav.CalDAVServiceMaker#info] Setting up scheme: wiki 2008-12-08 10:55:03-0800 [-] [caldav-8008] [-] [calendarserver.tap.caldav.CalDAVServiceMaker#error] Unknown scheme: wiki 2008-12-08 10:55:03-0800 [-] [caldav-8008] [-] [calendarserver.tap.caldav.CalDAVServiceMaker#info] Setting up scheme: digest 2008-12-08 10:55:03-0800 [-] [caldav-8008] [-] [calendarserver.tap.caldav.CalDAVServiceMaker#info] Setting up scheme: basic 2008-12-08 10:55:03-0800 [-] [caldav-8008] [-] [calendarserver.tap.caldav.CalDAVServiceMaker#info] Configuring authentication wrapper 2008-12-08 10:55:03-0800 [-] [caldav-8008] [-] [calendarserver.tap.caldav.CalDAVServiceMaker#info] Setting up service 2008-12-08 10:55:03-0800 [-] [caldav-8008] [-] [calendarserver.tap.caldav.CalDAVServiceMaker#info] Configuring log observer: <twistedcaldav.accesslog.AMPCommonAccessLoggingObserver object at 0x2948a08c> 2008-12-08 10:55:03-0800 [-] [caldav-8008] [-] [calendarserver.tap.caldav.CalDAVServiceMaker#info] Adding server at : 8008 2008-12-08 10:55:03-0800 [-] [caldav-8008] [-] twistedcaldav.httpfactory.HTTP503LoggingFactory starting on 8008 2008-12-08 10:55:03-0800 [-] [caldav-8008] [-] Starting factory <twistedcaldav.httpfactory.HTTP503LoggingFactory instance at 0x2948a10c> 2008-12-08 10:55:03-0800 [twistedcaldav.accesslog.AMPLoggingFactory] AMPLoggingProtocol connection established (HOST:UNIXSocket('logs/ caldavd.sock') PEER:UNIXSocket('')) 2008-12-08 10:55:03-0800 [-] [caldav-8008] [-] AMP connection established (HOST:UNIXSocket(None) PEER:UNIXSocket('logs/caldavd.sock')) #---end startup logging;

Timezone Philosophical Musing
by Mark Cockfield 06 Dec '08

06 Dec '08

I¹m trying to devise a timezone strategy for a RIA client I am hoping to keep fairly thin. Upon contemplating the complexity of the Olson tzdata and the discovery that other calendar clients don¹t reliably handle the issue well...this is an calendar object written by iCal to the calendar server: PUT /calendars/__uids__/ada9f1a1-1172-5784-8780-d67f9747dc7c/calendar/E4768A09-3 F1B-4778-987B-B62B92662ED2.ics HTTP/1.1 User-Agent: DAVKit/3.0.4 (652); CalendarStore/3.0.5 (841); iCal/3.0.5 (1270); Mac OS X/10.5.5 (9F33) Authorization: Basic Y2xpZW50OnRyYWlubWU= Content-Type: text/calendar If-Match: "a918de3ca423b993d5603b87590da2f0" Content-Length: 760 Connection: keep-alive Host: localhost:8008 BEGIN:VCALENDAR VERSION:2.0 PRODID:-//Apple Inc.//iCal 3.0//EN CALSCALE:GREGORIAN BEGIN:VTIMEZONE TZID:America/Detroit BEGIN:STANDARD TZOFFSETFROM:-0400 TZOFFSETTO:-0500 DTSTART:19671029T020000 RRULE:FREQ=YEARLY;UNTIL=20061029T060000Z;BYMONTH=10;BYDAY=-1SU TZNAME:EST END:STANDARD BEGIN:DAYLIGHT TZOFFSETFROM:-0500 TZOFFSETTO:-0400 DTSTART:19870405T020000 RRULE:FREQ=YEARLY;UNTIL=20060402T070000Z;BYMONTH=4;BYDAY=1SU TZNAME:EDT END:DAYLIGHT END:VTIMEZONE BEGIN:VTODO PRIORITY:0 SEQUENCE:4 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20040101T120000 UID:E4768A09-3F1B-4778-987B-B62B92662ED2 DTSTAMP:20081206T010207Z SUMMARY:Test w/Due Date CREATED:20081206T010119Z X-APPLE-SORT-ORDER:2147483647 DUE;VALUE=DATE:20081210 END:VTODO END:VCALENDAR It seems to me the ideal approach would be to rely on the CalendarServer¹s timezone service. Use it to retrieve the timezone components I Include in the components I create, and do an expand query to determine the currently observed offsets for timezones for which I need to adjust. So my questions are: is anyone else using this service, and to the CalendarServer developers, is this service something I may rely upon? Regards, Mark

Configuring Clients for DCS
by John Berliner 06 Dec '08

06 Dec '08

I've installed and configured DCS on FreeBSD 7.0, having dealt with memcached and PyKerberos setup issues... iCal 3 seems to work fine. I can publish calendars to the server without incident. I can also browse collections just fine using a web client. But I am having trouble configuring Sunbird. I cannot seem to create, or subscribe to, any network calendars. I have been using the instructions at: http://trac.calendarserver.org/wiki/Sunbird to specify URLs like http://myserver:8008/calendars/users/myuserid/calendar http://myserver:8008/calendars/groups/mygroupid/calendar On the client side, Sunbird "lets" me create the calendar, but I always get an error icon by the calendar with a Tooltip message "The calendar <newcal> is momentarily not available". If I then try to write to the calendar, the server looks like it is going to write -- I see a PUT, then "Writing request stream," then "Writing to file", but then: [-] [twisted.web2.dav.method.put_common#error] Rollback: commit and the event is not written to the calendar. I get no server errors on startup, other than "invalid GUID in accounts XML" warnings... Help! -- John Berliner john(a)johnberliner.com

Problem installing calendarserver
by japruim＠raoset.com 05 Dec '08

05 Dec '08

Good morning, I am attempting to install calendar server (The most recent trunk) on a: Apache/2.2.9 (Unix) mod_ssl/2.2.9 OpenSSL/0.9.8b mod_mono/1.9 mod_auth_passthrough/2.1 mod_bwlimited/1.4 FrontPage/5.0.2.2635 mod_perl/2.0.4 Perl/v5.8.8 and I get this error: Building PyXML... Traceback (most recent call last): File "./setup.py", line 127, in <module> config_h_vars = parse_config_h(open(config_h)) IOError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/usr/local/include/ python2.5/pyconfig.h' I'm thinking it has something to do with being on a shared host, and the shared host having installed python 2.5 in a different location since both 2.4 and 2.5 are installed. Any ideas what I can do to fix it? -- Jason Pruim japruim(a)raoset.com 616.399.2355
