iCal Server error

Same here. You think they'd have tried this before they shipped it.

I can't get iCal to see it either.

How did you get iCal to see it? It tells me the user doesn't exist when I try and add it to the accounts tab. Is the server just the domain name?

1, I confirm those results too.

2. I go to iCal and go to File and see an option for New Calendar, but it just creates a new local calendar. When I go to prefs and Accounts I can't add my server because I don't know what my server address is for CalDAV. When I enter the server's DNS name it fails with "Account info not found" as if the user is not enabled for calendaring, but that box is checked in Workgroup Manager and the calendar service is selected.

Are you bound to the machine via OD? That apparently works I hear, but it's supposed to work not bound also.

I have the same problem

"Error from server: Error processing calendar data (210)"

I reinstalled the Server and went through the Simple setup again. No dice.

It sounds like your iCal Server is not running. Try restarting it?

On a standard install: Server Prefs > Services > iCal > On.
On an advanced config: Server Admin > servername.local > iCal > Start iCal.

I've got a 'green' light on the iCal server and toggle it on and off. iCal service is assigned to the user (me). Still the error comes up every time the 'Calendar' is accessed through the Workgroup page, and when a entry is attempted in the calendar.

I too and getting the same message. Error from server: Error processing calendar data (210)
here is some more info that may or may not help.
Upon getting the error I opened safari's activity viewer, and check on the progress for opening the calendar. At the bottom of the list of 29 loaded items, there are two items labeled RPC2. When you click on one of those, you get an error page that is as follows:

(I am not sure what this means, but it might help.)

This error is a total red herring. It occurs because you can't perform GET requests on /RPC2 (it's an XML-RPC endpoint) You have to POST a valid XML-RPC request to it.

hmm, so is this something I can do anything about, or do I need to wait for an update from Apple or something?
