Error in adding attendee to meeting
I have had CalendarServer installed and running for some time on OS X 10.5. Recently I have been getting errors as below whenever an event is created or edited to add an attendee. 2009-08-18 19:00:22-0700 [-] [caldav-8008] [HTTPChannel, 17,192.168.0.12] [twistedcaldav.extensions#info] PUT /calendars/ __uids__/cscobie/860435CB-8DD9-4A4D-B3F6-36288DF51385/ DEB9CDE2-1BFD-4487-811D-0DBBFC4E09C5.ics HTTP/1.1 2009-08-18 19:00:22-0700 [-] [caldav-8008] [PooledMemCacheProtocol,client] [twistedcaldav.scheduling.implicit#info] Implicit REQUEST - organizer: 'mailto:corey@scobie.com' to attendee: 'mailto:kristen@scobie.com', UID: 'DEB9CDE2-1BFD-4487-811D-0DBBFC4E09C5' 2009-08-18 19:00:22-0700 [-] [caldav-8008] [PooledMemCacheProtocol,client] [twistedcaldav.scheduling.scheduler#info] METHOD: REQUEST, Component: VEVENT 2009-08-18 19:00:22-0700 [-] [caldav-8008] [PooledMemCacheProtocol,client] Exception rendering: 2009-08-18 19:00:22-0700 [-] [caldav-8008] [PooledMemCacheProtocol,client] Unhandled Error 2009-08-18 19:00:22-0700 [-] [caldav-8008] Traceback (most recent call last): 2009-08-18 19:00:22-0700 [-] [caldav-8008] File "/Library/Twisted/ twisted/internet/defer.py", line 261, in errback 2009-08-18 19:00:22-0700 [-] [caldav-8008] self._startRunCallbacks(fail) 2009-08-18 19:00:22-0700 [-] [caldav-8008] File "/Library/Twisted/ twisted/internet/defer.py", line 304, in _startRunCallbacks 2009-08-18 19:00:22-0700 [-] [caldav-8008] self._runCallbacks() 2009-08-18 19:00:22-0700 [-] [caldav-8008] File "/Library/Twisted/ twisted/internet/defer.py", line 317, in _runCallbacks 2009-08-18 19:00:22-0700 [-] [caldav-8008] self.result = callback(self.result, *args, **kw) 2009-08-18 19:00:22-0700 [-] [caldav-8008] File "/Library/Twisted/ twisted/internet/defer.py", line 746, in gotResult 2009-08-18 19:00:22-0700 [-] [caldav-8008] _inlineCallbacks(r, g, deferred) 2009-08-18 19:00:22-0700 [-] [caldav-8008] --- <exception caught here> --- 2009-08-18 19:00:22-0700 [-] [caldav-8008] File "/Library/Twisted/ twisted/internet/defer.py", line 724, in _inlineCallbacks 2009-08-18 19:00:22-0700 [-] [caldav-8008] result = g.throw(result.type, result.value, result.tb) 2009-08-18 19:00:22-0700 [-] [caldav-8008] File "/Library/ CalendarServer/twistedcaldav/method/put.py", line 68, in http_PUT 2009-08-18 19:00:22-0700 [-] [caldav-8008] result = (yield storer.run()) 2009-08-18 19:00:22-0700 [-] [caldav-8008] File "/Library/Twisted/ twisted/internet/defer.py", line 726, in _inlineCallbacks 2009-08-18 19:00:22-0700 [-] [caldav-8008] result = g.send(result) 2009-08-18 19:00:22-0700 [-] [caldav-8008] File "/Library/ CalendarServer/twistedcaldav/method/put_common.py", line 812, in run 2009-08-18 19:00:22-0700 [-] [caldav-8008] raise err 2009-08-18 19:00:22-0700 [-] [caldav-8008] exceptions.AssertionError: non-calendar collection resource <CalDAVFile: /Library/CalendarServer/ twistedcaldav/test/data/calendars/__uids__/ks/co/kscobie/calendar> has no index. 2009-08-18 19:00:22-0700 [-] [caldav-8008] I have scoured the archives of this list for any references to index problems with no success.

Hey Corey, could it be possible that you have installed the Calendar Server to another directory (your home directory for example)? Max -- "The best laid schemes o' mice an' men gang aft aglay." Robert Burns Am Mittwoch 19 August 2009 um 03:32PM schrieb "Cyrus Daboo" <cdaboo@apple.com>:

There is a lot of talent in this mailing list and a lot of knowledge contained within its postings. However, the information can be difficult to find and certainly, questions get repeated. A wiki has been set up to help make information regarding installing and configuring DCS a little easier to find. http://dcswiki.org There is a solid set of basic information already there, but much more to do (e.g., nothing on troubleshooting yet at all). It would great if some the gurus around here would lend a hand.

OK, so your client tried to access a "calendar" directory in that location and as you can see it does not exist. What client are you using? If it is iCal, try removing then re-adding the account for that server. -- Cyrus Daboo
Removing and re-adding on the client (yes, it is iCal) or on the Server? Regards, Corey corey@scobie.com On Aug 19, 2009, at 7:31 AM, Cyrus Daboo wrote:

For all those that may be interested it took a little trial and error to figure this out but here is the synopsis. iCal (I assume it is iCal) expects a default calendar with the uid "calendar". One that can be found at /calendars/__uids__/username/ calendar as a Caldav URL. Apparently this is the default collection UID used in collaborative scheduling (inviting another user to a meeting). When you set up a new iCal client for the first time, this calendar is automatically created on the caldav server. I was (I guess) dissatisfied with this calendar name, and instead of renaming the default calendar to something else I created a new calendar and then deleted "calendar" - thus forcing the server to remove the "calendar" uid (directory) under my user. This must have been different than my original provisioning process for these accounts and therefore broke one account. To resolve this problem it was not enough to just remove and re-add the account in iCal because the existing account data on caldav would just repopulate the iCal client. Instead, I followed this procedure. 1. Export each caldav Calendar's contents to an ICS file. 2. Remove the caldav account from my iCal configuration. 3. Stop the caldav server. 4. Remove the data directory (under twistedcaldav/test/data/calendars/ __uids__/) for the user in question. 5. Restart the caldav server. 6. Re-create the caldav account in iCal. 7. Rename the default "calendar" calendar in iCal to the name of my default calendar for this user (i.e. Personal Events). 8. Import the contents of the ICS file for this calendar back into the recreated calendar. 9. Recreate calendars and re-import contents for any additional calendars. I am sure there must be an easier way to do this, but this process definitely works. I have to admit, I do not have a very clear understanding of the relationship between the data stored in these directories, any meta data on the server, any meta data on the iCal client, and who is responsible for the actual file/folder structure on the caldav server. I suspect there is some way to force the iCal client to look for something other than the "calendar" uid for meeting requests, but I couldn't find anything via a thorough Google search. Hope this helps others. Regards, Corey corey@scobie.com On Aug 19, 2009, at 8:41 AM, Cyrus Daboo wrote:

Remove and re-add the account in the client (iCal).

The process you described should not be needed. iCal does not require that a calendar called "calendar" be present. It is capable of scanning the parent directory looking for all "collections" that have been tagged as calendars. -- Cyrus Daboo
