Hi ! First, I've been able to run caldavd directly, WITHOUT running it using the ./run script (I'm saying this because it's the number one complain I have seen while looking for a solution). So, here are the steps : - Get the caldav source code using svn (following instructions on this page). Quick note, (because I was stung by this) you'll have to checkout it inside an empty directory (I did my initial checkout in my Sources/System directory, and ./run -s failed with a really wierd error message while DLing PyXML because I already had a PyXML folder in System). - Run ./run -s, so that it downloads all required dependencies (and builds them). - Next, you'll need to do a "python ./setup.py install" in each dependency directory (PyXML, pydirector, PyOpenDirectory, PyKerberos, Twisted, vobject). (sudo might be needed for some of them). Also, caldavd uses the web2 package from twisted, which is not installed by default, so you'll need to do an additionnal "python ./ twisted/web2/topfiles/setup.py install" while you're in the Twisted directory. - Go back to the CalendarServer directory, and issue "python ./ setup.py install". This will install caldavd to /usr/local/bin. - Now create /etc/caldavd, and add the required config files (caldavd.plist, accounts.xml, ...). You should be up and running. - I guess running it inside launchd is easy from there, but I still haven't managed to. I'm getting "Python: can't open file '': [Errno 2] No such file or directory" which I have no clue about what it mean, so I have abandoned trying using launchd for now. Now, here is the problem I'm having : When I try to connect to the repository using iCal on 10.5.1, I'm getting a stacktrace from caldavd (See 1 at the end of mail). It seems to indicate an error, but as I don't have any documentation on the inner guts of the repository, I don't know what to do. I tried mkdir- ing the missing directory (I'm not even sure it's a directory), it works, but iCal fails saying "500 Internal Error", and I have the stacktrace 2 in caldavd log. Right now I have created in /Library/CalendarServer : principals/ __uids__/ myuser/ ... + the missing UIDs that make iCal fail to connect. calendars/ Thanks in advance !
