CalendarServer doesn't send out invitations
by Ove Ranheim 10 Feb '10

Hi, I've setup the CalendarServer on Ubuntu 8.04 TLS and for the most part it works fine, however I still haven't figured out how make the server send out invitations. Looking into my debug logs, the caldav server connects just fine with my Courier MTA mail server, every 30 secs or so, using the IMIP / IMAP connection. My log shows that it fetches messages, though cal(a)example.com account is empty. I just don’t understand how to configure the etc/caldav-dev.plist to connect to my SMTP, send and out invites. IMIP seems correctly configured. Here my snippet for the SMTP: <key>Sending</key> <dict> <key>Server</key> <string>mail.example.com</string> <key>Port</key> <integer>25</integer> <key>UseSSL</key> <false/> <key>Username</key> <string>cal</string> <key>Password</key> <string>********</string> <key>Address</key> <string>cal@ example.com</string>  </dict> If someone could advise me here, it would be highly appreciated. Are there other config files that should have looked into? Best regards, Ove

How to accept an invitation?
by Peter Huetmannsberger 09 Feb '10

Hello, so far I have made great progress with the help of Markus and Guy, but as always there are some questions, that remain. I can add appointments to te calendar, move it around, etc. I can also invite both external members as well as local users, I got rid if the error message, that said I did not have any guids. However I never get to teh point where I can accept/decline an invitation. The appointment just gets added to the calemdar of the invited user, and there is no option to accept or decline. Is there something I did wrong in the accounts.xml? I looked through the docs in teh mailing lst archive, but couldn't fidn any reference. Any help is appreciated. Thanks in advance, .peter -- ----------------------------------------- Please note that my email has changed to: huetmann(a)violine.at

Great! I would like to add that some of the problems may arise that I am running an x86_64 bit version of Centos. Ans some things get installed in /usr/lib others in /usr/lib64 I still have many questions though. Sorry. 1) It only works if I start the program in the folder I built it. i.e. cd /root/downloads/ical-4538/CalendarServer/ /usr/bin/caldavd -X -f /etc/caldavd/caldavd.plist If I start it from anywhere else I get an error from twist about not knowing caldavd as an option. 2) I get the following error now: File "/root/downloads/ical-4538/CalendarServer/twistedcaldav/sql.py", line 303, in _db_execute 2010-02-03 20:54:27+0100 [-] [caldav-8009] 2010-02-03 20:54:27+0100 [-] [caldav-8009] File "/root/downloads/ical-4538/CalendarServer/twistedcaldav/sql.py", line 85, in _db sqlite3.OperationalError: unable to open database file Checking what I had: [root@ical caldavd]# rpm -qa | grep sqlite sqlite-3.3.6-5 sqlite-devel-3.3.6-5 python-sqlite-1.1.7-1.2.1 sqlite-3.3.6-5 I don't see a problem there. But then it is all new ground for me. In any case, thanks for your help. Now I need to see if it all works the way I want to. All the best .peter

Almost running CalServer on Centos 5.4
by huetmann 02 Feb '10

Hi, after following the instructions in various websites for DCS and Centos, I got fairly far, but not quite there. I have the server up and running, it gives me a listing of sorts,when I approach it with Firefox 3.0, but it does not let me log on as anyone. As soon as I type the authentication superuser/superuser it gives me an error "400 Bad Request". All the other standard users in account.xml don't work at all (Auth window comes back). Is there a simple caldavd.plist I could use for authentication. I thought that this would have to work at least: <key>Authentication</key> <dict>  <key>Basic</key> <dict> <key>Enabled</key> <true/> </dict> But no luck. (The accounts.xml is where it is supposed to be. ) I also have a problem with memcached, i.e.: [memcached-Default] can't run as root without the -u switch Maybe those two problems are connected. But I am at the end of my tether here, haveing spent more than 12 hours trying to get this to run. Any help is appreciated. Maybe it is something small I am missing!
