[Citadel Support] CITServer Crashes when push email enabled.

I have a problem with CITServer crashing when I setup Citadel to push email
via Funambol.

To can get sybcronisation working via Funambol - To do this I had to change
the Funambol setup to point to GROUPDAV on citadel at port 80. The default
setting within the Funambol installation is port 2000, does this mean Citadel
is setup incorrectly, should Citadel or Webcit be listening on port 2000 for
GROUPDAV connections? 

 The system push settings for Citadel point to the Funambol server with the
following ....
 Funambol server host (blank to disable)  
 Funambol server port   
 Funambol sync source  
 Funambol auth details (user:pass in Base64)  
 External pager tool (blank to disable) 


it is when these settings are in place and the Citadel user recieves an email
(and presummaly sends out a push to Funambol) that Citadel crashes with the
following on the Citadel terminal screen.

 localhost citadel: citserver: unable to lock/etc/citadel/citadel.control

 localhost citadel: Is another citserver already running? 

As long as the push is not in place (or is in place and the user doesn't
recieve an email) everything works fine, I can do calendar and tasks via the
Citadel GUI and syncronise the same from my mobile phone via funambol.

has anybody got any ideas where I have gone wrong? 

 

thanks in advance
