That's what I used to test my MobileOrg staging setup (though now I use the ssh backend rather than webdav). When it was enabled, I tested it with cadaver. That was the only way I knew I'd set up WebDAV correctly since I have no experience with it :) The Arch Wiki had a section on testing and so I persisted until successful. So, yes, confusing -- cadaver worked, the browser on the host worked after inputting username/password into a popup, and the same for the browser on the tablet. Only org-mobile said it couldn't access the checksum.dat file. Thanks for the suggestion, John -- +---+ | Jason F.

[O] MobileOrg setup
I've configured a local WebDAV server on my machine at http://localhost/dav/org. I'm new to mobile org as I just got my first mobile device. To be honest, I didn't find the setup instructions that intuitive, but I'm also no apache/WebDAV expert either! I any case, I used the Arch Linux wiki to setup apache and WebDAV, mounted my server at /mnt/dav, created /mnt/dav/org and changed permissions to my username and the users group and used org-mobile-push to push to it. Everything seems to be working nicely. I can visit http://localhost/dav/org and see the structure with all my files, agenda.org, index.org, and checksums.dat. When I use mobile org, I get the error: - Error occurred during sync: An error occurred attempting to fetch the url http://ip-address/dav/org/checksums.dat: invalid username or password. - If I enter the same username and password from a browser... it works. And that's true either of my computer or the tablet. I can view checksums.dat in a browser on the tablet. What am I missing? Thanks! John
