iCal error when trying to update calendar

[knobby]

I have setup Scalix to test for our company. We have the latest community version installed on a clean install of Centos 5. It seems to be working well. Naturally, the most important thing for us is shared calendars. We are mostly using Macs with some people using Outlook. I have setup my calendar in iCal. I can see the calendar in iCal and see events that I added using swa in iCal. Everything looks great and I'm really hoping we can make this work and start using it. The problem I'm having is that when I create an event in iCal, I'm not able to update the Scalix calendar. As soon as I add an event in iCal to my Scalix calendar I get a little icon by my Scalix calendar in iCal and when I click that icon I get this message:
################################################
This account (test) appears to be offline because of a network or server problem.

Request for calendar failed.

The server responded with
"HTTP/1.1 503 Service Temporarily Unavailable"
to operation CalDAVAddCalendarQueueableOperation.

Would you like to go online now?

If I try to go online I get the same result. When I check the httpd error log I see this:

I have tried rebooting the server and restarting httpd. If I telnet to 8009 nothing is there. I tried this:

If anyone could offer something to try I would appreciate it.

Hi,

It looks as if you have attempted to add a calendar using ical.App?
Scalix 11.3 does not support adding calendars - the next release should do.

I suggest you add the calendars you need using SWA or Outlook. (Although it looks as if you may have done that already?)

The other thing that is probably happening is that ical.App tends to remember things it failed to do (in this case, adding a calendar using the CalDAV MKCALENDAR method) and retries, so you may need to remove the calendar account and re-add it.

Regards,
Gren.

It is working. I had to delete the account and then restart the entire server before it would let me add the account back again. I tried restarting just httpd and scalix first then it worked after a reboot.

I had created the calendar and an item in swa. I started to get the error once I tried to add an event. But iCal must have simply been confused and tried to create a calendar or something. I wasn't sure if something else was going on because of this:
Wed Mar 12 22:36:33 2008] [error] (120010)APR does not understand this error code: proxy: AJP: request failed to 192.168.100.102:8009 (j9-scalix.local)

But that one went away after reboot. Thanks very much for the help. Looking forward to using the product.

FYI: I do remember now that when I first setup the account in iCal yesterday, it would not let me create an event in my scalix calendar. It dropped in in my local calendar instead (work). So then I tried dragging the event to the scalix calendar on the left and the errors began. I did a clean install of centos and scalix last night and was still getting some errors today. Surely iCal was confused both times, and maybe some weird things going on with scalix too. But, all seems to be working now.
