Q: Calendar Server Reported Error: Operation CalDAVAccountRefreshQueueableOperation

I have setup several Users on a MAC OS X Server Lion with the sole purpose to use their Calendar and Addressbook as repository for calendar and address information for the Mac, Macbook and iPhone and shared calendars for all users of the OD. This worked quite well for a time. It seems to have stopped working a while ago (noone realised it because the individual device did not show an obvious problem and had all the required dates), definitively after the Update to 10.7.2, but presumably a couple of weeks before. To my knowledge I did not change anything beyond applying the apple updates.

One of the clients shows the dates of a shared calendar multiple times (depending on date up to 7 times, but mostly 3 times), the mobile devices and the other iMac only once.

 

Upon looking at the calendars (even as Admin on the Mac Server itself) the error message displayed is

 

Calendar Server Reported Error

 

Operation CalDAVAccountRefreshQueueableOperation

 

I hope there is a solution as we lost qiute a few dates on the iPhones during update to iOS 5 (the shared calendar data are apparently not backed-up).

A:

If you are seeing 500 errors, then they should be showing up in the /var/log/caldavd/error.log file on the server. Or perhaps in /var/log/apache2/error_log. Is there any evidence of that?

 

What happens if in Safari you go to:

 

https://<<your os x server hostname>>:8443

http://<<your os x server hostname>>:8008

 

https://<<your os x server hostname>>

http://<<your os x server hostname>>

 

If you look at the account details in iCal, does the server hostname match what you expect? What is the port set to?

    What do permissions on /var/pgsql and its contents look like?

     

    Clearly postgres is running but not seeing your previous data.

    Yesterday, looking at permissions around postgres and caldavd I found that some of the permissions look really odd (but then I have no experience with Mac OsX system permissions). With subsequent other error messages around caldevd running, I had the hunch that all might be caused by faulty permissions. I am going to run repair permissions and then see what happens.

    The permission repair fixed a number of permissions, but things still do not work (even though there are some changes, see below)

     

    Permissions differ on “Library/Server/Calendar and Contacts”; should be drwxr-xr-x ; they are drwxr-x--x .

    Repaired “Library/Server/Calendar and Contacts”

     

    Permissions differ on “private/etc/apache2/httpd.conf”; should be -r--r--r-- ; they are -rw-r--r-- .

    Repaired “private/etc/apache2/httpd.conf”

     

    Nothing remarakble. The Calendar I caused myself to test

     

    caldavd still does not run and aborts with same errors as before

    "repair permissions" does not help.

    Please both of you file bugs on bugreporter.apple.com and include the following:

     

    /var/log/system.log

    /Library/Logs/PostgreSQL.log

    /var/log/caldavd/*

     

    Report back the bug number here.

     

    Also, if you have backups of /var/pgsql from before the upgrade, please compare that (permissions, file sizes etc) with what you currently have.
