Installing on Leopard client
by Scott Buchanan 06 Mar '08

Hi, Are there a clear set of instructions on how to install and configure Calendarserver on a Leopard client? I can download, build and run the daemon from the source directory with the test accounts, etc. but when I go to (./run -i / ) install it as a system daemon and install the launchd plist I'm not sure where things are. For example the installed version of twistd always complains about not enough parameters but if I point back to the source directory version all is OK. I'm sure this is path/pythonpath issue but I don't know enough about twistd and python to puzzle this out. So my original question, Are there a clear set of instructions on how to install and configure Calendarserver on a Leopard client? Thanks, ________________________________________________________ Scott Buchanan DSB Associates e-mail: dscottbuch(a)mac.com 4-D Neuroimaging Tel: (858) 759-9496 Fax: (858) 759-0825 ________________________________________________________

iCal server perfomance issues.
by Silas Thomas 04 Mar '08

We've implemented iCal here and are having some performance issues. iCal server stats: 162 accounts, 65 calendars, 100 groups, 3000+ events, disk usage is 30kb on Intel Xserve Leopard server. We have all users calendars delegated to all other users, and about half of those users viewing all others calendars. We have a good DNS and resolution. When a user opens their iCal it may take up to 20 minutes to an hour or more for their calendar to sync, and the server pegs out at near 100% cpu usage for all the python processes _Calendar user. Not to mention that it takes forever for iCal to display the available calendars for access in the preferences. All machines are leopard and bound to the OD, single server setup. Has anyone experienced anything similar, and what did you do to correct the problem? Thanks!! Silas Thomas International Affairs Information Technology Consultant 541-346-1790 silas(a)uoregon.edu

sporadically dropped events

maybe this is the key to our problems: while startup of the caldav server, there is a line indicating theat 2 processors were found and therefore 2 processes were started. every line in the terminal window appears exactly twice. the machine is a g4 quicksilver from 2000 with an add-on cpu card with two g4/1,8g processors. could this be the reason for the probs? and if so how can we omit the start of a second process? best, mac Vielen Dank und viel Spass beim Urlaub auf Fanø wünscht das fano.de Team 8) -- Besuchen Sie die schönste Insel Dänemarks / Visit Denmarks most beautiful island: http://www.fano.de!
