I removed the older installation and re-installed the server from
scratch. After doing this, using the run -i / command, I still had to
correct two problems I've had in the past.
1) caldavd - in the caldavd produced the PYTHONPATH defined is
PYTHONPATH="Library/Python/2.6/site-packages/:$PYTHONPATH"
Note the missing initial "/". Nothing at all works without changing
this.
2) After fixing the above when running the server it fails. Reported
in the error log (or Console I'm not sure) is that it can't find /usr/
share/caldavd/bin/twistd. I grep'd through the code and can't find
where this is referenced so I fixed it by aliasing /usr/share/caldavd
to /usr/local. Then all works just fine.
I'm sure I'm doing something incorrect in configuration or build but I
can't find where. (1) seems like a bug but its been like this for
years.
Thanks,
Scott

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

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.
