Hello,
After installing the new Lighning plugin from the Sogo site, my
calendars are read-only. After installing version 3.105 again everything
works fine.
You may have to recreate the cache files in calendar-data in your users
Thunderbird profiles.
How do you do that?
In Linux, you'll find a .thunderbird in your users home dir, in Windows
type in %Appdata% in the run box and you get to your user's 'documents
and settings' folder. Go to Thunderbird. Then you'll see a
'calendar-data' sub folder.
In here you will see 2 (possibly 3) files.
* cache.sqlite
* caldav-acl.sqlite (possibly only seen with lightning 106i)
* local.sqlite (if you had any calendar events stored locally in
Lightning before)
I'm not an expert on this, but if you delete the .sqlite files (when
Thunderbird isn't running), and restart, then Thunderbird will recreate
these files again as a local cache of calendar events and tasks. This
might take a few minutes, and Thunderbird won't respond to normal
requests whilst its doing this.
Likewise the caldav-acl file (much much smaller in size) I believe is
the acl data, permissions on your lightning/sogo calendars.
You can of course look at these files, and edit them if you want with a
sqllite browser such as the GPL SQLite Database Browser In Linux and
Windows too.
I've found that if you get issues with broken calendars, quite often its
because the cache data isn't the same as that on the server. The server
is likely to be correct. Sometimes, events are deleted from the sogo
server, but aren't properly deleted from the local cache, due to issues
with permissions.
This is a trick I use sometimes if I get problems, your mileage may
vary. I've also found that deleting the cache files helps if a user
somehow ends up upgrading to Thunderbird 7/8 with its newer lightning
version, and you need to go back to Thunderbird 3.1 with SOGo. I think
there was a significant change in working with acl between sogo
lightning builds of 105 and 106, and same in std lightning builds, which
this can help correct, if necessary.
Might be handy if Inverse can comment or have any further docs on how
these cache files work, to better fully understand what happens.
