Hi, I have some problems using calendarserver. I thought of having a common appointment handling for 4 users and installed calendarserver. Unfortunately my setup is acting as a complex /dev/zero device and I am running against lots of walls trying to debug my setup. I am running debian/testing, using the prepackaged version calendarserver_1.2.dfsg-6_all.deb. I am a bit confused by the README.debian documentation, so followed the guideline there verbatim and created two files on my system: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- /etc/caldavd/sudoers.plist: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple Computer//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd"> <plist version="1.0"> <dict> <key>users</key> <array> <!-- Sudo user definitions --> <!-- With the exception of username and password none of the following elements are used in the current implementation. --> <dict> <key>username</key> <string>superuser</string> <key>password</key> <string>superuser</string> </dict> </array> </dict> </plist> ---------------------------------------------------------------------- /etc/caldavd/accounts.xml ---------------------------------------------------------------------- <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <!DOCTYPE accounts SYSTEM "accounts.dtd"> <accounts realm="Test Realm"> <user> <uid>admin</uid> <password>admin</password> <name>Super User</name> </user> <user> <uid>test</uid> <password>test</password> <name>Test_User</name> <cuaddr>mailto:testuser@example.com</cuaddr> </user> <group> <uid>users</uid> <password>users</password> <name>Users Group</name> <members> <member type="users">test</member> </members> </group> <location> <uid>mercury</uid> <password>mercury</password> <name>Mecury Conference Room, Building 1, 2nd Floor</name> <auto-schedule/> <proxies> <member type="users">test</member> </proxies> </location> </accounts> ---------------------------------------------------------------------- There does not seem to be any description anywhere what role the superuser from sudoers.plist or admin from accounts.xml have. I have restarted the server and two logfiles were created: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- /var/log/caldavd/access.log ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Log opened - server start: [Sun Nov 16 16:02:20 2008]. 127.0.0.1 - - [16/Nov/2008:16:05:58 +0200] "PROPFIND /calendars/users/test_user/calendar/ HTTP/1.1" 404 151 "-" "Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.8.1.13pre) Gecko/20080916 Debian/unstable (Codename: sid) Iceowl/0.8" [43.9 ms] 127.0.0.1 - - [16/Nov/2008:16:06:13 +0200] "PUT /calendars/users/test_user/calendar/b152a194-62a0-48bc-96f1-30d6b65615a5.ics HTTP/1.1" 404 191 "-" "Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.8.1.13pre) Gecko/20080916 Debian/unstable (Codename: sid) Iceowl/0.8" [27.3 ms] 127.0.0.1 - - [16/Nov/2008:16:20:23 +0200] "PROPFIND /calendars/users/Test_user/calendar/ HTTP/1.1" 404 151 "-" "Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.8.1.13pre) Gecko/20080916 Debian/unstable (Codename: sid) Iceowl/0.8" [22.6 ms] 127.0.0.1 - - [16/Nov/2008:16:20:39 +0200] "PUT /calendars/users/Test_user/calendar/4a361f89-67f8-4856-bb45-b88c3c293e0d.ics HTTP/1.1" 404 191 "-" "Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.8.1.13pre) Gecko/20080916 Debian/unstable (Codename: sid) Iceowl/0.8" [81.9 ms] ---------------------------------------------------------------------- /var/log/caldavd/error.log ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 2008-11-16 16:02:20+0100 [-] Log opened. 2008-11-16 16:02:20+0100 [-] twistd 8.1.0 (/usr/bin/python 2.5.2) starting up 2008-11-16 16:02:20+0100 [-] reactor class: <class 'twisted.internet.selectreactor.SelectReactor'> 2008-11-16 16:02:20+0100 [-] twistedcaldav.logging.AMPLoggingFactory starting on "'/var/run/caldavd/caldavd.socket'" 2008-11-16 16:02:20+0100 [-] [caldav-8008] /usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/twisted/plugins/twisted_web2.py:22: DeprecationWarning: mktap and related support modules are deprecated as of Twisted 8.0.

The location I specified there was http://localhost:8008/calendars/users/test_user/calendar/ and I tried http://localhost:8008/calendars/users/Test_user/calendar/ too. No password dialog appeared, no error messages. I added an appointment into my new calendar and it vanishes without any error message. I was not sure which side (server or client) was defective, so I searched this mailing list for some sort of known good command line client. I found: http://lists.macosforge.org/pipermail/calendarserver-users/2008-June/000906.... and tried then CalDAVClientLibrary revision 3384: fantasio:~/tmp/CalDAVClientLibrary$ ./runshell.py --server http://localhost:8008 --user=Test_user --pswd=test Ignoring error Ignoring error Traceback (most recent call last): File "./runshell.py", line 32, in <module> shell.runit() File "/mnt/hdd2/home/frank/tmp.nobackup/CalDAVClientLibrary/src/browser/shell.py", line 105, in runit shell = Shell(server, user, pswd, logging) File "/mnt/hdd2/home/frank/tmp.nobackup/CalDAVClientLibrary/src/browser/shell.py", line 43, in __init__ self.account = CalDAVAccount(server, ssl=ssl, user=self.user, pswd=self.pswd, root=paths, principal=paths, logging=logging) File "/mnt/hdd2/home/frank/tmp.nobackup/CalDAVClientLibrary/src/client/account.py", line 24, in __init__ self.principal = principalCache.getPrincipal(self.session, self.session.principalPath) File "/mnt/hdd2/home/frank/tmp.nobackup/CalDAVClientLibrary/src/client/principal.py", line 35, in getPrincipal self.cache[principal.principalURL.toString()] = principal AttributeError: 'str' object has no attribute 'toString' At this point I decided to ask the mailing list. How do I debug this further? Any documents I should have found? kind regards Frank
