After much fussing about with this, I was unable to make any progress.
I did determine that the error message really means that there were
unrecognized options. The command exec'd by caldavd is:
python /usr/local/bin/twistd -n caldav
The python called is the one in /System/Library/Frameworks/... I
tried a bunch of other options, but they didn't help.
I'm going to run the copy in my user account until someone builds an
installer.
Thanks for your help!

Although I have yet to test this myself, I belive you're on the
right track. Some advice:
-> The place to put contrib/calendarserver.plist is in /Library/
LaunchDaemons/
To actually start the service, use 'sudo launchctl load -x /Library/
LaunchDaemons/calendarserver.plist'
This sets the Disabled key to </false> AND loads the service. See
'man launchctl' for further info.
-> The './run -i' does not seem to copy the conf/caldavd.plist to
the default system location (nor any other conf files).
Try 'cp conf/caldavd-test.plist /etc/caldavd/caldavd.plist' and
modify it to suit you needs.
If you want this plist in a different location, add this to
ProgramArguments: <string>-f /path/to/caldavd.plist</string
-> Running as a non-root user is good security practice. There seems
to be two ways of doing this; one is to add the '-u' and '-g'
ProgramArguments to calenderserver.plist, and another is using the
UserName/GroupName keys to caldavd.plist. The latter is used in iCS,
yielding a master twistd process owned by root, and the rest owned
by the user specified. Make sure you create the user first.
-> As you said, use 'sudo /usr/local/bin/caldavd -X [ -f
<configfile ]' for debugging. The error message you see is twistd
complaining about (lack of?) options, if you echo the last line in /
usr/local/bin/caldavd (it's just a shell script), you can see what
it tries to do, like so:
echo "${python} ${twistdpath} ${daemonize} ${username} ${groupname} $
{profile} ${plugin_name} ${configfile} ${service_type}"
This should yield something like:
(iCS system service):
/System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.5/Resources/
Python.app/Contents/MacOS/Python /usr/share/caldavd/bin/twistd -n
caldav
(DCS stand-alone):
/System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.5/Resources/
Python.app/Contents/MacOS/Python /Install/DCS-1.0/Twisted/bin/twistd
caldav -f /Install/DCS-1.0/CalendarServer-1.0/conf/caldavd-dev.plist
-o ProcessType=Combined
Any improvement?

I want to run CalendarServer on a non-server Leopard Mac. I've
built it and it works fine when run from my account. I didn't see
any instructions on installing it as a system service, but the run
file has an installation switch, so I installed it to /, which puts
parts in various, sensible places.
In the contrib directory, there is a launchd/calendarserver.plist
file, which has different paths to the parts. I edited it and put
it in the right place, but it didn't work. I couldn't find any log
of why that was, so I tried running "sudo /usr/local/bin/caldavd -
X" from a terminal window, and got an error: "/usr/local/bin/
twistd: Wrong number of arguments". I can't tell from the caldavd
or the twistd file why this might be. I get this same error when
running caldavd from my build directory, but not if I run "run".
I hope that an installer (or a MacPort) will be available soon, but
I'd like to know if this is supposed to work. The differences
between the launchd plist and the run install paths make me worry
that this is just incomplete.
I also noted that somewhere it says to use user & group "calendar",
but I have not created those yet, if it matters. I'm just testing
caldavd with sudo.
Can someone please tell me how to install and run CalendarServer as
a system service?
Thanks very much.
