Thank you, all. I now have a configuration working. My particular style of daftness was not realizing that "syncURL=local://@webdav" refers to a different config than any of: "zoho-addr", "zoho@webdav", or "target-config@zoho", and so of course there was no datastore configured.
This is all clearly explained in "SYNCHRONIZATION BEYOND SYNCML", line 932 of the manual.

The relevant example is this (from CALDAV AND CARDDAV): The following commands set up synchronization with a generic WebDAV server that supports CalDAV, CardDAV and scanning starting at the root of the server. # configure target config syncevolution --configure \ --template webdav \ syncURL=http://example.com \ username=123456 \ "password=!@#ABcd1234" \ target-config@webdav # configure sync config syncevolution --configure \ --template SyncEvolution_Client \ syncURL=local://@webdav \ username= \ password= \ webdav \ calendar addressbook # initial slow sync syncevolution --sync slow webdav In your case, you seem to be only interested in CardDAV, so let's focus on just contacts. The commands in your case should be something like this: # set up access to zoho.com syncevolution --configure \ --template webdav \ syncURL=https://contacts.zoho.com/carddav/e...@oco.nnor.o rg/default/ \ username='e...@oco.nnor.org password='xxxxxxxx' \ target-config@zoho # double-check access syncevolution --print-items target-config@zoho addressbook # configure sync config, enabling only addressbook syncevolution --configure \ --template SyncEvolution_Client \ syncURL=local://@webdav \ username= \ password= \ zoho \ addressbook # double-check local access syncevolution --print-items zoho addressbook # Now "zoho addressbook" is matched with "target-config@zoho addressbook" # and we can sync the two: syncevolution --sync slow zoho # All following syncs are incremental: syncevolution zoho > I now am getting: > > ➤ syncevolution --run ev-local-addr > ... > [INFO] @default/addressbook: using configured database=zoho-backend > [ERROR] sending message to child failed: > org.syncevolution.gdbuscxx.Exception: 1483751134.3343.16@tara/address > bo > ok: datastore not configured > ... I'm not sure what you configured to get to this point. As your local ~/.config/syncevolution might be in an unclean state now, it might be worthwhile to throw it away (you don't have any other configs, do you?) with "rm -rf ~/.config/syncevolution" before running the commands above. _______________________________________________ SyncEvolution mailing list SyncEvolution@syncevolution.org https://lists.syncevolution.org/mailman/listinfo/syncevolution
