Migration question
by Jason Miller 20 Sep '11

20 Sep '11

Good morning! First off, I hope there's not an issue with asking Apple server-specific questions on this list. If that's an issue, I apologize, but this is somewhat documentation-related :) What is the "preferred" method for migration of calendar data? I have two use cases that I'm studying: - Migration of users in an enterprise from local calendars or another server to a Snow or Lion calendar server - Migration of users from Snow to Lion without using the upgrade installation (a migration installation instead) In both cases, we've tried to use iCal to either back up a copy of the local client store to copy into the new server store. That generally works, but both calendar servers (Snow and Lion) will try to mail out new invitations. I've mitigated that before by disabling iMIP temporarily in serveradmin, which generally seems to work, but then there are some errors when the calendar server tries to resolve users on the invites: HTTP/1.1: 500 Internal Server Error to operation CalDAVWriteEntityQueueableOperation ...after which you can revert to server or go offline. Revert to server's not a very good choice because it will revert to the non-existence of the item. All in all, what is a good way to approach this migration? If you can provide some clues/pointers, I'm sure we can figure out the rest. This will be a very good migration document in the end, I'm sure. Unless I'm missing something, there's not a lot of information about this in the Lion server documentation. --Jason --- Jason Miller jmiller(a)red-abstract.com

migrating to Lion Server
by Conrad Wasmer 10 Sep '11

10 Sep '11

Howdy all - I am looking for advice. I have been using DCS 3.x, from trunk, for quite a while now. I think I last updated at the beginning of this year. And it's worked pretty well for us with very few issues. I am now thinking of converting to a real-style server with all the niceties that gui's and other features offer us. Does anyone know of the best way to migrate one's data from the open source DCS to the Lion Server installation of Calendar Server? Because this is a family operation, I can potentially export the data from a calendar client and address book, but that seems like a less-than-user friendly solution. And it seems that since the 3.x version of DCS, the data is no longer in a "data" folder, so I can't just copy it from the current folder and paste it into the new installation's folder. Unless I'm missing something there. Any advice is appreciated! Thanks - Conrad -- Conrad Wasmer

Publishing calendars
by Matthew Ford 09 Sep '11

Hi, Is there some way I can (programatically, if necessary) have calendarserver publish a calendar as an .ics file to an external server such that someone subscribing to the ics file is kept up to date? From iCal I can publish a calendar, but if I have created a calendar on the server that option is no longer available to me client side. Mat

Installation from 3.0 tree problem
by Jason Miller 08 Sep '11

08 Sep '11

Afternoon! I'm trying to do a raw install of tagged release 3.0 from the svn repo. While running "sudo ./setup.py install" I encounter an error when it tries to copy the egg-info file: ... copying conf/caldavd.plist -> /usr/local/caldavd running install_egg_info Removing /usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/Calendar_and_Contacts_Server-3.0._r8052_.egg-info Writing /usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/Calendar_and_Contacts_Server-3.0._r8052_.egg-info Traceback (most recent call last): File "./setup.py", line 139, in <module> root = os.path.normpath(install_obj.root) File "/usr/lib/python2.7/posixpath.py", line 318, in normpath initial_slashes = path.startswith('/') AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'startswith' Any ideas? I'm putting this together on a VM to work on the documentation.
