Hi Andy, I presume then that you are in fact using the XML File Directory Service. Check in your caldavd-dev.plist for the following code: <!-- XML File Directory Service --> <key>DirectoryService</key> <dict> <key>type</key> <string>twistedcaldav.directory.xmlfile.XMLDirectoryService</string> <key>params</key> <dict> <key>xmlFile</key> <string>conf/accounts.xml</string> </dict> </dict> Note the <string> tag under <key>xmlFile</key> and ensure that it is pointing to accounts.xml and not accounts-test.xml as it does by default. -Nick AndyT wrote:

Hi all.

I have a very basic understanding problem. I have the server up with the default configuration. All works fine with the default admin account that was already present. I also managed to use the ranadmin tool from http://trac.calendarserver.org/projects/calendarserver/wiki/CalDAVClientLibr... and added a user (andy). That seemed to work as well, when I look into the accounts xml file all seems ok.

Now my question: When I browse the server, there is no calendars/users/andy created. I believe, that is my problem. How is that done? The new user andy cannot publish a calendar with ical, it gives me a: Publish failed for calendar “Uni” 2 (https://localhost:8443/calendars/users/andy). It further states: Calendar https://athomas@localhost:8443/calendars/users/athomas/Uni.ics could not be found.

The same works for the admin. What is the basic step I missed?

Thanks in advance, Andy
