Cyrus,

Thanks. I've found the snow leopard python arrangement to be much more sane (at least to me) than 10.5 and I'm in the process of removing all my 'customizations' (from /usr/local, /Library/Frameworks/ Python...) and re-installing just the 10.6 /Library/Python and /System/ Library/Frameworks/Python.framework) and then rebuilding what other modules I need like matplotlib and scipy. I'll nuke my current calendar server installation and reinstall from current trunk. I had recently updated from 1.x to 2.3 and therefore had these files in older locations and things worked with iPhone and 10.5 iCal Clients.

Do you know why the 10.5 iCal Clients would work and the 10.6 iCal Client would not?

Thanks,

OK. I tracked this down to a permissions issue on /var/run/caldavd and
the files calendaruserproxy.sqlite & resourceinfo.sqlite.  By adding
group rw permissions to this directory and these files the following
error no longer occurs and all seems to be working. I have no idea what security risk this presents as I currently don't understand the security model of CalendarServer so I don't know if this is a legitimate fix or
not.

Any input appreciated.

First off in the new code we put those .sqlite files in a new location by default: /Library/CalendarServer/Data/. It is best not to use /var/run/ for those as they are "persistent" database files and should not be automatically purged (as might happen to something in /var/run).

On permissions, the best thing is to create a "calendar" user and group for your system, and change the caldavd.plist to use those. Ensure that /Library/CalendarServer's contents have read-write for that user and group. You will need to start the server as the admin user but it will drop privileges to the user and group you specify.
