Re: [CalendarServer-users] iMIP settings

I would have responded directly to the last email, but after applying the settings, my inbox on my server was erased (frankly, probably the easiest way I know to clean that thing out - all my other folders remained untouched). So, um, any advice on which user's info I should be putting in those fields in the iMIP settings? Should the info be that of an existing email account? Should I have a new mail account for DCS? Here's what I've got - the same info that I use for my email set up: <key>iMIP</key> <dict> <key>AddressPatterns</key> <array> <string>mailto:.*</string> </array> <key>Enabled</key> <true/> <key>MailGatewayPort</key> <integer>62310</integer> <key>MailGatewayServer</key> <string>localhost</string> <key>Receiving</key> <dict> <key>Password</key> <string>mypassword</string> <key>PollingSeconds</key> <integer>30</integer> <key>Port</key> <integer>143</integer> <key>Server</key> <string>http://my.server.com</string> <key>Type</key> <string>imap</string> <key>UseSSL</key> <false/> <key>Username</key> <string>conradwasmer</string> </dict> <key>Sending</key> <dict> <key>Address</key> <string>conradwasmer(a)my.server.com</string> <key>Password</key> <string>mypassword</string> <key>Port</key> <integer>25</integer> <key>Server</key> <string>http://my.server.com</string> <key>UseSSL</key> <false/> <key>Username</key> <string>conradwasmer</string> </dict> </dict> --- Conrad Wasmer

Hi, I was wondering if it is possible to setup an ACL in caldavd.plist for blocking a particular IP. Regards, Rahul.

Proxies on Users
by Georg Troska 16 Dec '09

16 Dec '09

Hi, I am using the calendarserver for a year now on ubuntu 8.10. Until now we have been using one simple single group calendar. I played around a bit now with delegations/proxies. I was able to use the proxy-statement in the accounts.xml file for a location. This works fine. Now I would like to use it for users. I get the message: element only allowed for Resources and Locations: proxies I looked around in the code and found in /usr/share/pyshared/ twistedcaldav/directory/xmlaccountsparser.py: --- [...] elif child_name == ELEMENT_PROXIES: # Only Resources & Locations if self.recordType not in (DirectoryService.recordType_resources, DirectoryService.recordType_locations): raise ValueError("<auto- schedule> element only allowed for Resources and Locations: %s" % (child_name,)) self._parseMembers(child, self.proxies) [...] --- why is this coded in there? I looked in the latest trunk as well - there it is implemented correctly. I there a reason why this isn't updated? Georg

Email Notifications
by Brian Hall 09 Dec '09

09 Dec '09

I have one big thing I'm trying to work around with the calendar server. The way event notifications works by default is for users who have accounts on the system, it sends everything via the notifications mechanism (XMPP, iTip, iMip). However, if you add an attendee, someone external to the company for example, who doesn't have an account on the server, it sends them an email with the event information and updates with a .ics attachment. What I would like to do is tweak it so that it sends the email notifications regardless of whether or not they are a user on the system. I can mostly see what it's doing in the code, but I don't have enough python coding experience to make it work, I've tried about everything I can think of. This is all in the /twistedcaldav/scheduling directory, files like cuaddress.py, addressmapping.py, etc. If anyone has any suggestions, thoughts, solutions, I'd much appreciate it. --Brian

Installing CalendarServer-2.3 fails w/ Python error
by Richard Cobbe 06 Dec '09

06 Dec '09

I'm trying to install CalendarServer-2.3 from source on a machine running MacOS X 10.5.8-client (Intel). I'm following the instructions at <http://www.mail-archive.com/calendarserver-users@lists.macosforge.org/msg01…>, which have worked for me in the past, but I'm getting a python error during the installation process. What I'm doing, in brief: - svn checkout .../tags/release/CalendarServer-2.3 - cd CalendarServer - ./run -s - edit conf/caldavd.plist, conf/caldavd-apple.plist, and twistedcaldav/config.py. Change all references to files in /var/run to look for them in /var/run/caldavd instead. - ./run -i /tmp/caldavd As near as I can tell, the error happens when this last command is trying to install Twisted. The relevant bits of the output follow: creating Twisted.egg-info writing requirements to Twisted.egg-info/requires.txt writing Twisted.egg-info/PKG-INFO writing top-level names to Twisted.egg-info/top_level.txt writing dependency_links to Twisted.egg-info/dependency_links.txt writing manifest file 'Twisted.egg-info/SOURCES.txt' Traceback (most recent call last): File "./setup.py", line 97, in <module> main(sys.argv[1:]) File "./setup.py", line 92, in main setup(**setup_args) File "./twisted/python/dist.py", line 47, in setup return core.setup(**get_setup_args(**kw)) File "/System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.5/lib/python2.5/distutils/core.py", line 151, in setup dist.run_commands() File "/System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.5/lib/python2.5/distutils/dist.py", line 974, in run_commands self.run_command(cmd) File "/System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.5/lib/python2.5/distutils/dist.py", line 994, in run_command cmd_obj.run() File "/System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.5/Extras/lib/python/setuptools/command/install.py", line 56, in run return _install.run(self) File "/System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.5/lib/python2.5/distutils/command/install.py", line 516, in run self.run_command('build') File "/System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.5/lib/python2.5/distutils/cmd.py", line 333, in run_command self.distribution.run_command(command) File "/System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.5/lib/python2.5/distutils/dist.py", line 994, in run_command cmd_obj.run() File "/System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.5/lib/python2.5/distutils/command/build.py", line 112, in run self.run_command(cmd_name) File "/System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.5/lib/python2.5/distutils/cmd.py", line 333, in run_command self.distribution.run_command(command) File "/System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.5/lib/python2.5/distutils/dist.py", line 994, in run_command cmd_obj.run() File "/System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.5/Extras/lib/python/setuptools/command/build_py.py", line 31, in run self.build_package_data() File "/System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.5/Extras/lib/python/setuptools/command/build_py.py", line 76, in build_package_data for package, src_dir, build_dir, filenames in self.data_files: File "/System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.5/Extras/lib/python/setuptools/command/build_py.py", line 39, in __getattr__ self.data_files = files = self._get_data_files(); return files File "/System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.5/Extras/lib/python/setuptools/command/build_py.py", line 44, in _get_data_files self.analyze_manifest() File "/System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.5/Extras/lib/python/setuptools/command/build_py.py", line 92, in analyze_manifest self.run_command('egg_info') File "/System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.5/lib/python2.5/distutils/cmd.py", line 333, in run_command self.distribution.run_command(command) File "/System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.5/lib/python2.5/distutils/dist.py", line 994, in run_command cmd_obj.run() File "/System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.5/Extras/lib/python/setuptools/command/egg_info.py", line 171, in run self.find_sources() File "/System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.5/Extras/lib/python/setuptools/command/egg_info.py", line 252, in find_sources mm.run() File "/System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.5/Extras/lib/python/setuptools/command/egg_info.py", line 306, in run self.add_defaults() File "/System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.5/Extras/lib/python/setuptools/command/egg_info.py", line 333, in add_defaults rcfiles = list(walk_revctrl()) File "/System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.5/Extras/lib/python/setuptools/command/sdist.py", line 45, in walk_revctrl for item in ep.load()(dirname): File "/System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.5/Extras/lib/python/setuptools/command/sdist.py", line 52, in _default_revctrl for path in finder(dirname,path): File "/System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.5/Extras/lib/python/setuptools/command/sdist.py", line 98, in entries_finder log.warn("unrecognized .svn/entries format in %s", dirname) NameError: global name 'log' is not defined If that's not enough context, I do have a complete transcript of the build attempt, so I can provide more detail as necessary. Since 2.3 isn't working, I tried starting over with CalendarServer-2.2, and I've been able to get that to build, so this is clearly caused by something that's changed in the interim. If it matters, I *do* have both python 2.5 and 2.6 installed via Fink, in /sw, and I was running the installation process in an environment where the PATH contains /sw/bin etc.; I don't know if that might be interfering. I can live with 2.2, but I've been having some mild problems with it, so it'd be nice to get 2.3 working to see if that fixes them. Is this a problem on my end, or do I need to wait for the next point release? (I'm a little leery of running straight from trunk, but if someone can convince me that this is safe, I'm open to the possibility.) Thanks, Richard

Need some help in debugging iCal
by tarjei 02 Dec '09

02 Dec '09

Hi, I'm using ICal against a Caldav server. About 2 weeks ago, ICal stopped working and instead reported the following error (translated from norwegian): the server is not reached or the name is invalid for <servername> Now, the server is working for 10 other users using Mozilla Lightning so I think this is something Ical specific. I know this isn't an Ical list but I post here in the hope that someone can give me some input with regard to a) how do I debug this and b) why is ICal reacting as it does. kind regards, Tarjei -- Tarjei Huse Mobil: 920 63 413

Intermittent Error from Server

Hi, I've got the latest stable build of the CS running on Snow leopard with iCal and iPhone clients. I keep getting the following error message to which I simply choose the option 'Go Online' in the dialog box and it goes away and everything is fine.

iMIP settings
by Conrad Wasmer 01 Dec '09

01 Dec '09

Has anyone had success setting up DCS to send and receive emailed invitations? I run DCS (improperly using the ./run -d script) on the same machine as my mailserver. And I have fiddled with the plist settings for scheduling, but to no avail. Any direction would be much appreciated. Thanks! Conrad Wasmer ---
