[CalendarServer-users] Installing and running on Linux

[Ian Kono]

I'm trying to run the production daemon using the caldavd.plist as my config file but I'm getting this error in my log:

So I think the problem is that opendirectory is not available on linux(I saw someone opened ticket #211 with the same issue a while back) but since my config file says to use the xml directory service and not open directory, I figured that it would not try and import opendirectory. If that's not the case do I need to comment it out and rebuild or do I need to add something to the config file or...?

Any help would be very much appreciated. 

Thanks,
Ian
