[CalendarServer-users] Running CalendarServer on Mac OS X 10.8.5

[Andre LaBranche]

Hi,

It does indeed appear that run -i is still broken.

Even so, it's fine to just run the service in place, using the run script. Normally doing something like this would be a mess of fixing up environment variables and adding things to various paths, but our run script does this for you, no matter where you execute it from. I might recommend creating another user account to run the service, to isolate it from your own personal login session. It doesn't need to run as root.

For example:

andre at xomg[~] /Users/andre/work/icalserver/trunk/CalendarServer/run -n 
Using system version of memcached.

Using system version of OpenLDAP.

Using system version of libffi.

Using system version of setuptools.

Unable to determine version for zope.interface.
Using system version of pyOpenSSL.

Using system version of xattr.

Using system version of Twisted.

Using system version of python-dateutil.

Using system version of pytz.

Using python2.7 as Python

Starting server...

You can integrate this with launchd as well; just make sure to not pass the -d option with run. One side effect of using run without -d is that no separate error.log is written; instead all that content goes to stdout. To get a separate error.log file, define StandardOutPath and StandardErrorPath in your launchd plist, with the desired path to the log file.
