off topic: tar --xattr
by Pim Zandbergen 29 May '09

29 May '09

I'm using calendarserver on Ubuntu Intrepid because that sort of works out of the box. I was trying to make a backup of /var/spool/caldavd, preserving the extended attributes, when discovering that Ubuntu's tar does not have a --xattr switch. The same version of tar on my Fedora boxes do support that. Is that a Fedora extension, or an Ubuntu omission? What do Ubuntu people use to backup files with extended attributes? Thanks, Pim

calendarserver on Debian/Ubuntu using nss and winbind

Would the patches for Debian that allow one to use nss + ldap work for nss + winbind too ? Thanks, Pim

Cannot connect to calendarserver on Debian
by bobber 26 May '09

26 May '09

I am trying to get the Debian calendarserver package setup and running. I have installed the package along with the python-twisted-web package. I have added the user_xattr option to the partition which contains /var/spool/caldavd. I copied the files from /usr/share/doc/calendarserver/examples to /etc/caldavd. Also modified /etc/default/calendarserver so it will start. When I start the server and try to connect to http://localhost:8008/ I get nothing. When I telnet to 8008, connection is refused. When I do a ps aux | grep caldav, I get this line which seems to indicate caldav is running: root 5076 0.0 0.3 19248 12140 ? S 16:24 0:00 python /usr/bin/twistd caldav Any suggestions? -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Cannot-connect-to-calendarserver-on-Debian-tp23660821… Sent from the Calendar Server - Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

Sharing calendars, events
by arun chhetri 20 May '09

20 May '09

Hi group, I am done with the code for basic caldav features over the web, but I have new challenge to finish,, Due to the big students base and professors request for sharing calendar, I was looking at the sharing of events done in ical, which is pretty clean stuff,, It has some of the features like when you add an attendee for an event, the other person can say may be, decline, accept,,, now I am working on that part and have no idea where to start,,, So, my questions are 1) How can I share my event or calendar with other user which is on same lDap,, The discovery of user is prettry easy, but how do i share event or calendar with him 2) When I share an event with other user X and use my web interface to read the calendar for user X, It shows the shared event, same as the user X personnel events, so my question is how can i differentiate user X's personnel events with shared events. Specifically does shared event has some specific property in caldav which I am missing. Specifically, I want sth very close to iCal, Please suggest any part which I can study, or some XML query example will really help Thanks Arun

iMIP replies and Lighning interoperability
by Markus Stürmer 15 May '09

15 May '09

Hello! I'm trying to configure DCS on openSUSE 10.3 for a mixed Linux/MacOS environment using XML file authentication. There is few information available about DCS / Lightning interoperability. It seems Lightning does not processing scheduling requests in the scheduling inbox on the server, and does not send invitations through DCS either. Was someone sucessful in getting that working, or is that not yet supported in Lighning? I got the iMIP scheduling in DCS only partially working: Known users are asked internally (for iCal, see above), and external users get an invitation email. Problems arise when DCS tries interpreting and injecting email replies. I use the builtin mail templates and have enabled plus-addressing on the mail server. I've added an entry to the XML file for the com.apple.calendarserver and the respective GUID to the »principals with "DAV:all" access«. Depending on the client (both most recent version) I use to create the reply email I get the following errors: Reply created by iCal and sent through Mail: 2009-04-19 10:45:32+0200 [-] [caldav-8081] File "/srv/ CalendarServer/vdisk/CalendarServer/twistedcaldav/scheduling/ processing.py", line 144, in doImplicitOrganizer 2009-04-19 10:45:32+0200 [-] [caldav-8081] result = (yield self.doImplicitOrganizerUpdate()) 2009-04-19 10:45:32+0200 [-] [caldav-8081] exceptions.AssertionError: There must be one and only one ATTENDEE property in a REPLY Reply created by Lightning and sent through Thunderbird: 2009-04-19 10:48:33+0200 [-] [caldav-8081] File "/srv/ CalendarServer/vdisk/CalendarServer/twistedcaldav/method/ put_common.py", line 1085, in run 2009-04-19 10:48:33+0200 [-] [caldav-8081] raise err 2009-04-19 10:48:33+0200 [-] [caldav-8081] exceptions.AttributeError: 'DirectoryPrincipalResource' object has no attribute 'calendarUserAddresses' After adding an cuaddr to the calender user entry, I also got errors when trying to schedule an event. 2009-04-19 10:58:58+0200 [-] [caldav-8081] File "/srv/ CalendarServer/vdisk/CalendarServer/twistedcaldav/directory/ directory.py", line 298, in __init__ 2009-04-19 10:58:58+0200 [-] [caldav-8081] assert len(calendarUserAddresses) == 0 2009-04-19 10:58:58+0200 [-] [caldav-8081] exceptions.AssertionError: And for interpreting Lightning/Thunderbird replies the error changes to: 2009-04-19 11:06:13+0200 [-] [caldav-8081] File "/srv/ CalendarServer/vdisk/CalendarServer/twistedcaldav/mail.py", line 259, in http_POST 2009-04-19 11:06:13+0200 [-] [caldav-8081] yield self.authorize(request, (caldavxml.ScheduleDeliver(),)) 2009-04-19 11:06:13+0200 [-] [caldav-8081] exceptions.AssertionError: Best regards, Markus

CalDAVClientLibrary: email-address
by Markus Stürmer 12 May '09

12 May '09

Hello! CalDAVClientLibrary/runadmin.py seems not to be able to parse (valid) tags like <email-address>, but I only need runadmin.py to be sure that the guids are correct anyway. Can those guids be chosen arbitrarily or is there some magic behind it? Regards, Markus

admin guide?
by Ravi Kondamuru 04 May '09

04 May '09

Hi, Is there an administrators guide for CalendarServer? I have just been able to setup and run the server on my linux system. 1. I see what seems like a directory listing when I connect to 8008 port. I was expecting an admin interface or something. 2. when I click on calendars it asks for login and when I provide admin login it says: Unable to read property: user.{DAV:}getcontenttype 3. Also some info setting the server to send notification over xmpp. Any doc/link that can provide some info on administering this server and configure various options will help. thanks, Ravi.
