Does 11.4.1 support iCal.app/CalDAV? I can't seem to get it to work, and every URL that I have found listed just returns Internal Server Error. What do I need to do to enable iCal.app to connect? Thanks!

Yes, that was the last one I tried. I just keep getting internal server error messages.

you might want to check
http://<servername>/api/userinfo
http://<servername>/api/dav/Principals/user@domain
in a browser.
If you dont get access with your credentials the next check would be the apache logs and the scalix-api.log.

http://<servername>/api/userinfo works fine, prompts me for my account, and connects.
http://<servername>/api/dav/Principals/user@domain just returns internal server error
Apache says No protocol handler was valid for the URL /api/dav/Principals/user@domain

This looks like the dav services are not working for any reason.
The easiest way to solve might be to run the scalix-installer, remove the "Scalix Messaging Services" and add it again with another run of the scalix-installer.
Did you upgrade from an earlier version?

I added proxy_http.load to mods-enabled and that allowed me to at least add the account successfully.
However, the calendar will not refresh and the error is now Bad Request. I don't see anything in the apache or scalix-api.log regarding this.
If I browse to
http://<server>/api/dav/Principals/user@domain I get the Scalix DAV Services page, my name, my email, and a big block with my Last, First in it and that is it.
If I browse to
http://www.dragonspyre.net/api/dav/Cale ... t/Calendar I can see the .ics files. However, If I enter that URL into iCal it complains and will not add the account.
(Request encountered an unexpected error (domain(null) / code 0)
Also, as a side, is it prossible to allow apache to serve a website at /var/www while it is proxying the rest for scalix?

Your Apache tells me that you are running Ubuntu. So we have to check a manual installation (which is an essential information).
I have no experience with that platform but I would start to check the Apache-Tomcat chain starting with the first include (/etc/apache2/conf.d ?)
Maybe someone else could step in?
Yes, you can serve standard websites from /var/www and also add other virtualhosts if you like.

I don't know much about the Apache-Tomcat piece. I used the installer script for 11.4.1 from the wiki. It does make the initial connection and see my personal calendar and a public calendar. So at least something is communicating correctly. Apache access.log shows this when I try to refresh from iCal
Code: Select all
"PROPFIND /api/dav/Calendars/Users/<user@domain>/ HTTP/1.0" 207 3162 "-" "DAVKit/2.0 (10.5.4; wrbt) iCal 3.0.4"
"PROPFIND /api/dav/Calendars/Users/<user@domain>/Calendar/ HTTP/1.0" 207 695 "-" "DAVKit/2.0 (10.5.4; wrbt) iCal 3.0.4"
"PROPFIND /api/dav/Calendars/Users/<user@domain>/BB-SxDref-00011813aad7eb9c/ HTTP/1.0" 207 731 "-" "DAVKit/2.0 (10.5.4; wrbt) iCal 3.0.4"
"PROPFIND /api/dav/Calendars/Users/<user@domain>/schedule-InBOX/ HTTP/1.0" 207 455 "-" "DAVKit/2.0 (10.5.4; wrbt) iCal 3.0.4"
"PROPFIND /api/dav/Principals/<user@domain>/ HTTP/1.0" 207 312 "-" "DAVKit/2.0 (10.5.4; wrbt) iCal 3.0.4"
No calendar events get synced and it just has the little alert that something went wrong. When I click on it it says request for
http://<server>/apidav/Principals/user@domain/ failed. The server responded with HTTP/1.0 400 Bad Request.
What logs would be a good place to start for this?

Ok...further strangeness I have noticed.
If I create an entry in iCal it will show up in SWA.
If I create an entry in SWA, it will not show up in iCal
If I edit an entry created in iCal while using SWA it will disappear from iCal.
So the real problem seems to be with iCal retrieving any data touched by Scalix.

Hi there,
We experience same problems!
Updates don't seem to be in both directions!
Is this already solved at your side?
Thanx for feedback!
We have some itchy mac users here!
