iCal Server error

Did that, still broke. Just installed the 10.5.2 update, still broke.

I've just managed to resolve the 210 error issue I was having with the help of these threads.

It appears it was the permissions for me.

su chown calendars:calendars /Library/CalendarServer
su chmod 774 /Library/CalendarServer
su chown calendars:calendars /Library/CalendarServer/Documents
su chmod 770 /Library/CalendarServer/Documents

It didn't appear to be fixed straight away, but after a proper restart it worked fine...

1. Stop iCal and Web servers.
2. Start Web server
3. Start iCal server (once Web server is green)

I tested the hostname issue but that didn't appear to impact my installation.

Do you know what the permissions were on those directories before you changed them?

I didn't note it down at the time (silly me) but I am fairly certain that CalendarServer was admin:root.

This is the correct permissions for /Library/CalendarServer:

cyrusdaboo$ ls -la /Library/CalendarServer/
total 0
drwxrwxr-x 3 root admin 102 Dec 15 17:41 .
drwxrwxr-t+ 59 root admin 2006 Feb 14 10:12 ..
drwxr-x--- 2 _calendar _calendar 68 Dec 15 17:41 Documents

So i've tried many combinations of the above resolutions to no avail! I still get the 210 error. I was trying to do the "su" (substitute user) command mentioned above, and my terminal literally told me "sorry".

Anything I might be doing wrong? when i tried running the command
su chown calendars:calendars /Library/CalendarServer
it asked me for my admin password, i entered it and all i got was
su: Sorry

The permissions seem wrong, it is not pointed to my '_calendars' user.

Any quick hints to give this one a try? Needless to say this has gone far beyond Apple's reputation for "Just one click" I figure the moment that I have to go into terminal to make an "On the box" feature work properly, something has gone terribly wrong.

Hope you can help,
Cheers,

Just to add another layer of complexity:

I have the server up and running and currently 6 groups with wikis ad calendars. 5 out of 6 calendars work - most of the time.

One calendar was working until we imported events from NowUpdtoDate (several hundred events). Result: Error 210. And yes, I checked everthing that was suggested in the multiple threads on error 210.

Today, I created another group and reimported. Same thing. So, the bottom line is, certain event types may compromise the iCal server function.

Side note: It's sad to see that Apple does not actively participate here to solve this problem

Can you post both the iCalServer and wiki server error logs that cover your attempt to access one of the group calendars with the imported events.

Badda boom, badda bing! Key was to restart the web server after adjusting the domain reference in iCal server.

Problem with normal DNS is that in a corporate environment, we don't necessarily get a domain name.

I tried your solution and it worked perfectly!!
