It has been pointed out in the forums there (Only 3 postings and that includes myself... hmmm. What does that tell you?) that while the sourceforge system says its cross platform that it doesn't work cross platforms, and so should be corrected- and that person was building for bsd too. So, where does that leave us? Incidentally, since when do we care what BS Microcrap is doing with their toy servers? (I've had plenty of crap go on with MS and their systems, my laptop manufacturer only supports them and gives me curry every time I ask for warranty, and MS cancelled my hotmail account to boot. Apparently I transgressed, but I haven't, I have important emails I can't access now, and their system has no way to contact me with a reply as to what I've done- life is wonderful!) The question remains is does kronolith provide caldav access for evolution, and does it connect via apache? I'm currently trying to get bedework working, but I'm having trouble linking Tomcat 6 and Apache (Bedework appears to fit all these criteria that I require). I can access Tomcat directly, and Apache is ok, I checked the config for the mod_jk and I think its working, but when I try to navigate to Tomcat via Apache I get a 404 from Tomcat. Does anyone know how to fix this? It seems I have the connector working and there is something in Tomcat to configure but I don't know what. Thanks for the feedback guys- its all been helpful. I hope I'll have an answer soon which I'll post back, and maybe make up a how-to, package or port. Keep it all coming...

You can install from www/horde-meta and choose the kronolith module. From their website: "The Kronolith calendar provides a robust web-based calendar for any number of users or groups, with the ability to show any number of calendars in a single overlaid view.

You may find that it would work a lot better though if you change the xattr.h include to: include The problem will be in the link stage. If the libraries that you have linked in do not contain the functions that are defined in xattr.h then you will get link failures. However I don't really understand why your having problems. The SF page for this, here: http://sourceforge.net/projects/moddavacl claims: "Operating System: All POSIX (Linux/BSD/UNIX-like OSes)" This would indicate a configure script that understands FreeBSD is present. It sounds to me like you are not following the instructions included with the mod_dav_acl module to build it properly. What exactly are you doing? Could you post the steps your going through to build this? I had thought Mirosoft deprecated all the webdav stuff in future IIS servers - maybe there is a lack of interest in the industry now?

I'm using mod_jk but it doesn't appear to be cooperating yet. What is your experience in building apache modules? The problem is mainly in the mod_dav_acl module which needs xattr.h. I'm wondering if we can "borrow" the headers from another source. I haven't checked zimbra or cosmo properly yet, but at first glance it appeared they didn't quite have what I wanted. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

I'm currently looking for a caldav/calendar server myself. There are actually quite a few, but I guess a lot won't met your specific requirements.

I need to setup tomcat to get it working, and tomcat is now installed, but the apache connector is the tough point again- I'm trying to install mod_webapp as per instructions here (http://www.osnews.com/story/3558), but the port breaks with missing includes. It appears FreeBSD just doesn't want to be a calendar server! I am chasing either the developer or another poor soul trying to get the mod_dav_acl (which is required by mod_caldav) to work on anything other than linux. Once this hurdle is worked out then the caldav module might work very well. As for bedework I'll keep on that track- I have to get somewhere eventually! One way or the other At the end I'll post the result, and maybe I'll work on a port or something. _ New music from the Rogue Traders - listen now! http://ninemsn.com.au/share/redir/adTrack.asp?mode=click&clientID=832&referral=hotmailtaglineOct07&URL=http://music.ninemsn.com.au/roguetraders___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

Still looking for a calendar server...
I've brought this up before, I know, but I need a caldav server that will work with evolution. I've checked out Darwin Calendar Server, but they are not going to solve an issue (as of 2006) that means evolution can't use it, and evolution won't budge either- so a mexican stand-off and I'm caught in the middle (probably with others). So that brings me back to the Apache module under construction (mod_caldav), but nothing seems to be happening with it. I've requested support on the forum their at sourceforge, but I have had no response for over a week, and no responses have been issued since april 2006. So now I'm wondering where to start: is it possible to build on this code to achieve what I want? Does anyone know where to get help developing an Apache module? (especially seeing as this will be my first attempt at c++ programming) Current issues with this module atm is a missing xattr.h file. I'm wondering if it can be changed to support the extended attributes natively in freebsd ufs2. I'd also like to consider using mysql or other db as a backend. I'm scouring the script as of now, and I figure that an Apache module will be more stable and easier to administer. Any help would be appreciated here.
