I second this... There are plenty of people out here trying to use
this - particularly on OS X Client edition - who aren't UNIX Sysadmins
and who need to be taken through the process step-by-step with the
assumption that their knowledge is basic. People such as me!
If someone can get some clear instructions with the above provisos in
mind, then I am more than happy to knock them into shape as a
definitive guide for OSX (I was a professional technical author for
more than ten years)...
I think you'll find 90% of people using the calendar server are doing
so by using the "./run -d" development method, rather than the correct
implementation method (I haven't seen any instructions anywhere that
are any use as to how to do this). The "launchd" fix doesn't work by
the way...
I'm sure that in the true spirit of Open Source we can get this into
shape...
Cheers,
Jeremy.

Is there a Wiki or similar on which to find/contribute information
about installation of Calendar Server. It is definitely not an easy
system to install, even on OS X.
I've been running CalendarServer on 10.4 Server and 10.5 Client for
about 2 years. I recent had to upgrade to the latest release (2.3)
on the 10.5.8 client to maintain compatibility with the iPhone 3.1
Here are a few issues I ran into for which I can find no
instructions, or what I did wrong which cause me to have to do the
following after running ./run -i /.
1) the PYTHONPATH declared in the /usr/local/bin/caldavd was
incorrect. It was "Library/Python/2.5/site-packages/:$PYTHONPATH"
instead of "/Library/Python/2.5/site-packages/:$PYTHONPATH" (note
the missing slash at the beginning). I remember this being a
problem 2 years ago and is still there.
2) After correcting item 1 the server would still not launch and the
errors showed that something was looking for /usr/share/caldavd/bin/
twistd. I could not find where this was coming from so I solved
this by 'ln -s /usr/local/bin /usr/share/caldavd'
3) The it still would not run. Looking at the logs again it was
looking for memcached which is not installed on 10.5 client. I then
downloaded and built memcached (and libevent which is required by
memcached).
Now things are running. I did a bunch of other things with the log
files locations/permissions which have changed (I think) but they
may also have been due to the above items being wrong/missing.
If there was wiki/FAQ to which to post these that would be great.
If this exists can you point me to it?
Cheers,
Scott
