iCal Server Set Up

Question

iCal Server Set Up

My goal is to have a common office calendar in my VERY small office.

I have a mac mini (ppc) with leopard server running File Sharing, iCal Server and Web Server. File sharing works fine. The web server seems to be serving the wiki calendar pages. But the iCal Server and/or client seems to have problems. I have 2 iMacs running Leopard. I've used directory utility to make the imac's ical can see the server. A new little calendar icon appeared in each imac's ical. The icon is called "calendar" and that icon is located under a group called "server". But next to that "calendar" icon is a squiggle. Clicking on the squiggle, I get the following dialog:

----

This account (server) appears to be offline because of a network or
server problem.

Request for "calendar" in account "server" failed.

The server responded with
"HTTP/1.1 500 Internal Server Error"
to operation CalDAVDeleteEntityQueueableOperation.

Would you like to go online now?

----

Additionally, when I'm in the calendar wiki (via safari), I cannot make a new entry on the wiki calendar. This is true for the 2 imac's as well as for when I'm in the calendar wiki using safari on the server itself.

The server preferences for every user permit iCal services.

Can anyone suggest a solution?

mac mini (ppc) & imac (intel), Mac OS X (10.3.x)

Can you post the calendar server's error log file as shown in Server Admin? There should be some details in there about the 500 errors you are seeing on the client side.

Thanks! I have only 3 machines running leopard so far: server and 2 iMac (mariela and belleange). File sharing for the iMac's works and each imac has permission to use iCal. I'm still testing. Our needs are simple and basic: I want a common calendar and a common address book. (I'm reluctant to go back to Now Contact and Calendar.)

The server log appears below:

Am now getting following error message:
