Re: [CalendarServer-users] cardDAV from mac and iPhone

Looking through the access and error logs on the server, whilst I'm connecting from both the address book app on my mac and from the iPhone, I can see the iPhone querying PROPFIND /addressbooks/__uid__/{uid of user} PROPFIND /addressbooks/__uid__/{uid of user}/ PROPFIND /addressbooks/__uid__/{uid of user} PROPFIND /addressbooks/__uid__/{uid of user}/ (with and without slashes) and then it does a PROPFIND /directory the addressbook app calls PROPFIND /directory PROPFIND /principals/users/{username} PROPFIND /addressbooks/__uid__/{uid of user}/addressbook/ which is when it successfully connects. I'm assuming that the iPhone is looking through the server in a different way in which to find the address books, or I've created an address book incorrectly on the mac and the iPhone is struggling to understand. If I find out more I'll post it, hopefully this will help someone other than me ;) c

Invitations from external users should be emailed directly to the invitees, not the calendar server's email address. That email address is only for replying to invitations that originated from the server.

Ok, so on further investigation, the iPhone connects to the cardDAV server, makes a request to the /directory node and then bombs out. Connecting to the cardDAV server in a web browser, and clicking on the directory link, returns a 503 error - Service Unavailable - Service is starting up. This is using the XML directory service. In order for the AddressBook under OSX 10.6.5 to connect, the server details are required to be https://{domainname}:8443/principals/users/{username}. Will continue investigating and report back any findings, although does anybody know if the xmlDirectoryService works correctly against the iPhone for cardDAV? Cheers c

cardDAV from mac and iPhone
by Chris Bell 29 Nov '10

29 Nov '10

Hello :) I've currently got Calendar Server installed on an Ubuntu server system. The Calendar portion of this seems to work perfectly, I've got it working from both my Mac and from my iPhone. The contacts part of the server is what now confuses me. I can set the iPhone up to look at the server, it connects correctly from the standard server setup section of the iPhone and I can see from the server logs that the client connects properly (?) and looks through the hierarchy of objects on the server. However, I can't create any contacts on the server from my iPhone, currently I have a google contacts list present on the phone and when navigating to the contacts group selection screen, the new Calendar server is not presented. From the Mac, I don't seem to be able to connect to the contacts side of the server at all, just using the default address book app and selecting cardDAV server for the new account. Has anybody had any success with the merged server working for contacts, or any thoughts on what I should be looking out for? Cheers c

DCS Configuration Manual?
by Corey Head 25 Nov '10

25 Nov '10

Hello-- Looking through the archives and all over, the best thing I could find for help configuring the DCS is this: http://www.macworld.com/article/132736/caldavserver.html?loomia_ow=t0:s0:a3… It's a bit dated and has nothing about the CardDAV server now included with the CalDAV server. Is there anything out there that talks about how to configure these pieces? I need the CalDAV server's more advanced settings than discussed in the above article, like how to setup sending invites to others not on this server. Also, I would like to start on the CardDAV but see nothing out about that one and how to get started with it. I assumed some similarities between the configuration for it and the CalDAV, but haven't been able to initiate and connect to it yet. Any links to manuals, installation guides, etc. would be most appreciated! Thanks! Corey

CalendarServer on Fedora 13 & 14 Linux
by Stewart Adam 24 Nov '10

24 Nov '10

Hi, A while back I had asked a few questions about getting DCS setup on Fedora 13... As my thanks I wanted to write back with how to get DCS setup from scratch on Fedora 13/14. These instructions are also available here with better formatting: http://www.firewing1.com/node/582 Special notes before starting: * DCS will be installed to /opt/CalendarServer to prevent conflicts with system libraries (i.e., twisted) * DCS data roots will be in /srv/CalendarServer * You must enable xattr on the partition containing the server data roots, for example by running "mount -o remount,user_xattr /" or by adding "user_xattr" to the mount options in the fstab. * Unless a command sequence starts with "su -", it's intended to be executed as a regular user. 1. Install prerequisites: su - yum install subversion yum install patch memcached krb5-devel PyXML gcc gcc-c++ \ python-{devel,zope-interface,kerebos,setuptools} 2. Checkout code and run setup mkdir CalendarServer&& cd CalendarServer svn checkout http://svn.calendarserver.org/repository/calendarserver/CalendarServer/tags… CalendarServer-2.4 cd CalendarServer-2.4 ./run -s I'm not sure if this happens all the time, in my case downloading PyDirector hanged. If the same happens to you, hit<ctrl+c> to halt the install script and run: pushd .. wget http://downloads.sourceforge.net/pythondirector/pydirector-1.0.0.tar.gz tar xfz pydirector-1.0.0.tar.gz popd ./run -s 3. Prepare for installation su - mkdir -p /srv/CalendarServer/{Data,Documents} chown -R daemon:daemon /srv/CalendarServer/ mkdir -p /opt/CalendarServer/etc/caldavd mkdir -p /opt/CalendarServer/var/run/caldavd mkdir -p /opt/CalendarServer/var/log/caldavd 4. Install DCS& configure server (replace /home/regularuser as needed) su - cd /home/regularuser/CalendarServer/CalendarServer-2.4 ./run -i /opt/CalendarServer rm -rf /opt/CalendarServer/usr/caldavd/caldavd.plist cp conf/servertoserver-test.xml /opt/CalendarServer/etc/caldavd/servertoserver.xml cp conf/auth/accounts.xml /opt/CalendarServer/etc/caldavd/accounts.xml cp conf/caldavd-test.plist /opt/CalendarServer/etc/caldavd/caldavd.plist cp conf/sudoers.plist /opt/CalendarServer/etc/caldavd/sudoers.plist chmod 600 /opt/CalendarServer/etc/caldavd/* 5. Work around bugs #390 and #391 su - sitelib="$(python -c 'from distutils.sysconfig import get_python_lib; print(get_python_lib())')" sitearch="$(python -c 'from distutils.sysconfig import get_python_lib; print(get_python_lib(1))')" if [ "$sitelib" != "$sitearch" ];then mv /opt/CalendarServer"${sitelib}"/twisted/plugins/caldav.py* /opt/CalendarServer"${sitearch}"/twisted/plugins sed -i.orig 's|PYTHONPATH="'"${sitelib}"'|DESTDIR=/opt/CalendarServer\nPYTHONPATH="${DESTDIR}'"${sitelib}"':${DESTDIR}'"${sitearch}"':|' /opt/CalendarServer/usr/bin/caldavd else sed -i.orig 's|PYTHONPATH="'"${sitelib}"'|DESTDIR=/opt/CalendarServer\nPYTHONPATH="${DESTDIR}'"${sitelib}"':|' /opt/CalendarServer/usr/bin/caldavd fi 6a. If you already have some SSL certificates for the server, install them to /opt/CalendarServer/etc/tls. If not, then you can create a self-signed one: su - mkdir /opt/CalendarServer/etc/tls openssl req -new -newkey rsa:1024 -days 365 -nodes -x509 -keyout www.example.com.key -out www.example.com.crt 6b. Configure the server (don't add the double quotes in the XML): * Set ServerHostName according to your setup * Set DataRoot to "/srv/CalendarServer/Data/" * Set DocumentRoot to "/srv/CalendarServer/Documents/" * In the DirectoryService section, set xmlFile to "/opt/CalendarServer/etc/caldavd/accounts.xml" * Set SudoersFile to "/opt/CalendarServer/etc/caldavd/sudoers.plist" * Delete the Wiki section (Wikiserver authentication) * Set AccessLogFile to "/opt/CalendarServer/var/log/caldavd/access.log" * Set ErrorLogFile to "/opt/CalendarServer/var/log/caldavd/error.log" * Set GlobalStatsSocket to "/opt/CalendarServer/var/run/caldavd/caldavd-stats.sock" * Set ServerStatsFile to "/opt/CalendarServer/var/log/caldavd/stats.plist" * Set PIDFile to "/opt/CalendarServer/var/run/caldavd/caldavd.pid" * Set SSLCertificate to "/opt/CalendarServer/etc/tls/www.example.com.crt" * Set SSLPrivateKey to "/opt/CalendarServer/etc/tls/www.example.com.key" * Set UserName and GroupName to "daemon" * In the iSchedule protocol section, set Servers to "/opt/CalendarServer/etc/caldavd/servertoserver.xml" * Set ControlSocket to "/opt/CalendarServer/var/run/caldavd/caldavd.sock" * Set twistd to "/opt/CalendarServer/usr/bin/twistd" * In the Python Director section: - Set pydir to "/opt/CalendarServer/usr/bin/pydir.py" - Set ConfigFile to "/opt/CalendarServer/etc/pydir.xml" - Set ControlSocket to "/opt/CalendarServer/var/run/caldavd/caldavd-pydir.sock" 7. Test startup: su - /opt/CalendarServer/usr/bin/caldavd -X \ -T /opt/CalendarServer/usr/bin/twistd \ -f /opt/CalendarServer/etc/caldavd/caldavd.plist If all goes well, then you can daemonize the server by running the same command without "-X". If you want to run DCS at system startup, add that command to /etc/rc.d/rc.local or create a small initscript from the Fedora template: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging/SysVInitScript#Initscript_template Regards, Stewart

It appears that in your caldavd.plist, the "iMIP > Sending > Address" value is not a valid email address with an @ in it.

Installing Calendar Server
by xxyy123＠optusnet.com.au 16 Nov '10

Hi, I am trying to install Calendar Server. I have installed macports and darwinbuild on Snow Leopard 10.6.4. Although I had XCode 3.2.1 installed, it could not find 'make' so I had to install XCode 3.2.2. Now, how do I install and configure the Calendar server? I cannot find any information at http://trac.calendarserver.org/ Thank you.

backup of caldav user accounts via tar
by Marco Kammerer 11 Nov '10

11 Nov '10

hello, my config is -linux debian testing squeeze -kernel 2.6.34.1 (but i could easyly update to the actual kernel) -calendarserver 2.4. (standard installed via apt-get) I searched for a way to backup the calendarserverdirectory one solution that is working is to use cp -r --preserve=all /var/spool/caldavd /backupdirectory but i also look for a way to get it of the mashine and to another backup localtion (for example via ftp) to get that done i need to archive it. i found that tar should be able to do that like tar cvfz --xattrs i found that on http://linux.die.net/man/1/tar but on my version of tar on my mashine (1.23) this option was not supported. What other alternatives do i have to make a backup into a transferable archive? What do you use? Marco
