[CalendarServer-users] Almost running CalServer on Centos 5.4

Indeed I have, I followed those instructions, in the hope it would work. A 
number of things are different though, which may have to do with a newer 
version delivered by the CVS. It wants to have postgres installed now. 
Which I did.

The whole thing seems to place files all over the place and then can't 
find them.

I have to start the command
/usr/bin/caldavd -X -f /etc/caldavd/caldavd.plist

in the directory I built the CalendarServer otherwise it won't start.

I may have missed something, but I tried 6 times from scratch with a new 
virtual machine (i.e. clean setup). Always ended up with the same thing. I 
can't log on.

Today I tried it on Ubuntu, which installs an older version, and even 
though there was some problem with the packaging, it worked pretty much 
out of the box (using the deb package). However Ubuntu is not an option 
for me, I have to get this to run on a centos install.

If you would like to see some logs, I could mail/post  them.

I also tried everything on a fedora virtual machine today, and I get to 
the pount where Sunbird can connect and make events, but my Iphone 
cannot. (weird thing is that it works on the ubuntu install, with the 
exact same settings).

In Fedora, it seems that the account is recognized. (I can log on) but I 
cannot go to any ressources (including my own calendar) it returns, a 500 
(Internal Server Error).


2010-02-02 00:13:36+0100 [-] [caldav-2]           File 
"/usr/lib64/python2.6/site-packages/twisted/enterprise/adbapi.py", line 
395, in connect
2010-02-02 00:13:36+0100 [-] [caldav-2]             conn = 
self.dbapi.connect(*self.connargs, **self.connkw)
2010-02-02 00:13:36+0100 [-] [caldav-2]         sqlite3.OperationalError: 
unable to open database file

The above is what the log says.

Sorry my python is non-existent.

So, it seems I am stuck. But thanks anyway.

If you can help, that would be wonderful.

Thanks,

.peter
