In Console, the following error message showed up

"26/11/2013 13:31:09.550 Contacts[4404]: Failed adding account: The operation couldn’t be completed. (AppleInternetAccountsErrorDomain error 8.)"

 

also in the apache2 error_log I see

"[Tue Nov 26 13:31:06 2013] [error] [client 127.0.0.1] script '/Library/WebServer/Documents/card.php' not found or unable to stat"

That looks like you are not connecting to the https (SSL) server but the main http (non-SSL) server.

In your browser, go here: https://localhost:8443, you should see:

Baïkal is running allright.

If you go to here: http://localhost, you should see:

It works!

If you don't get those, then it is not running correctly.

I didn't try with an email address as username, but I seem to remember seeing that referenced in the Baikal setup.

before mavericks, i got home, my iphone got on my wifi network and everything synced well to my mac, including notes/contacts, pictures/music etc

now, if i want to sync my private notes and my private contacts, i have to use and store my private data on some one else's datacenter?, that sounds odd.

with the current stamp that the "cloud" has, i cannot believe that apple leapfrogged android/google on storing our private data in the cloud.

when will the other local sync functions be removed, like private pictures?

please apple reinsert the SyncServices to Mavericks, this is why i went with iOS/Mac ecosystem in the first place.

Well I guess this sums it up:

http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4865

The above link, contains this:

"In addition to this article, you should also review Apple’s Privacy Policy, which covers iCloud."

If I'm reading this right, Apple treats your iCloud data like any other personal data...it is used for advertising and shared with affiliates.

It does not say anything of the sort, dream on.

That is exactly what it says if we follow the links:

http://www.apple.com/privacy
"Here are some examples of the types of personal information Apple may collect and how we may use it."

What:
"we may collect a variety of information, including your name, mailing address, phone number, email address, contact preferences, and credit card information."
"When you share your content with family and friends using Apple products, send gift certificates and products, or invite others to join you on Apple forums, Apple may collect the information you provide about those people such as name, mailing address, email address, and phone number."

How they use/share:
"It also helps us to improve our services, content, and advertising."
"You may be asked to provide your personal information anytime you are in contact with Apple or an Apple affiliated company.  Apple and its affiliates may share this personal information with each other and use it consistent with this Privacy Policy. They may also combine it with other information to provide and improve our products, services, content, and advertising."

iCloud:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4865

"This article explains how iCloud keeps your personal information and data secure. In addition to this article, you should also review Apple’s Privacy Policy, which covers iCloud."

Post the entire wording next time or just a link. Please stop posting extracts and editing Apple's documents.

Don't be such a nuissance Csound.

I've just read it myself and it does as is pointed out by DigiAngel.

(it would be useful if the reply button was directed at the box you clicked it in...)

I think it's useful that someone filters through such huge and cumbersome texts and picks out the relevant frases with links to the source. Don't see the problem you seem to have.

Thanks Pete...trying not to post mountains of stuff that's already done...guess the short version is here:

Guess folks can put 2 and 2 together

By your creative editing, folks could put two and eleven and a quarter together. Stop being a childish nuscience .

It says, "when you share your content with family or friends"

If that disturbs you, don't.

Thanks for your feedback Barney-15E. I had used MAMP (Mac, Apache, MySQL, PHP) to get my server running. While it is very easy to use, there are some disadvantages, and some “under the bonnet (aka hood)” tweaks which may have been unhelpful. Specifically the web server starts by default on port 8888.

So I uninstalled MAMP by the simple process of deleting the MAMP folders from my Applications folder, restarted my Mac, and started again on Setting Up My Mac Without MAMP. Karen Stevenson who wrote the tutorial uses an alternative Finder app called Pathfinder. Being a cheapskate I managed without.

In the PHP stage of her tutorial, I found my PHP was located in /usr/bin/php, and asking for the version produced the following:

PHP 5.4.17 (cli) (built: Aug 25 2013 02:03:38)

Copyright (c) 1997-2013 The PHP Group

Zend Engine v2.4.0, Copyright (c) 1998-2013 Zend Technologies

I had some trouble initially with Apache because I had previously been tinkering with it to try and get CalDAV and CardDAV servers up and running, so I put it back to its original state by copying the original config file into the apache2 directory with the following command in terminal:

sudo cp /etc/apache2/original/httpd.conf /etc/apache2/httpd.conf

Then following the instructions in Karen Stevenson's tutorial I started Apache, and then typed 'localhost' into Safari's address and search field and got a reassuring It works! from Apache.

I then accessed the web root by typing by choosing 'Go to Folder' from the Finder's 'Go' menu and typing /Library/WebServer/Documents/. Because there was already and item called Documents among my favourites, I didn't add it the web root to favourites (as Karen's tutorial suggested), but to give me easy access I created an alias, moved it to the desktop, and renamed it 'Web root (Documents) alias'. This left an additional 'Documents alias' in the WebServer folder which I deleted. I didn't actually need to do this, but it meant I could easily peek at the contents of the root folder to ensure that everything was installing as expected

I then picked up in your instructions from the heading “Installing the Server Code”. At step 7b I called my server: www.MyCalCardSErver.org:8443, and put my email address in for the optional ServerAdmin email (I think your tutorial is a little unclear at this point, was there an editing issue?).

After that the process for adding the Calendars and Address Books to my Mac was straightforward.

However there were problems when I started to try and sync my iPhone 3GS running iOS 6.1.3

In order for my phone to find the CalDAV and CardDAV servers  I had to insert lines the following lines in the dav.baikal-server/Specifics/virtualhosts/baikal.apache2 file after line 4 ('ServerName dav.mydomain.com')

RewriteEngine On

RewriteRule /.well-known/carddav /card.php [R,L]

RewriteRule /.well-known/caldav /cal.php [R,L]

TextWrangler opened and saved the file for me without difficulty.

After that setting Calendars up on the iPhone was just as described in Barney-15E's tutorial, except that in the I needed to touch 'Advanced' and set the https port number to 8443.

Getting the Contacts to sync took a lot more research. In the end I found I had to use the following for the server

<ip>:8443/card.php/carddav/principals/username (where, as in the other cases, username is the username I had set up in Baïkal). Then in 'Advanced' I switched SSL 'on' and left the port at '0'.

So I've nearly solved my problems. I'm now in the situation where my private contacts and calendars are synchronised either within my private home LAN, or an a machine to machine basis.

My remaining problem is this: I have some contacts and calendars which are synced through Google for others to access. Previously all this 'public' syncing was handled by my laptop, and my phone was then kept in sync with my laptop via Sync Services, which could be done even when I had no internet access. Now, however, as far as I can tell, those contacts and calendars which need to be publicly synced can only be kept in sync between my laptop and iPhone when I have internet access. Ideally I would choose to do all my syncing between phone and laptop on a local basis and then let my laptop keep the public contacts and calendars up to date when I have internet access. As far as I can see this can't be done when the local syncing goes through the CalDAV/CardDAV server method since calendars and contacts can only be answerable to one server. Does anyone have any ideas on how to solve this?

done that.(sent my feedback to apple)

the problem here is not what you read between the fine lines of the private policy to apple.

The problem here is trust, what users in this tread are showing is a distrust to apple or how they choose to handle your private data.

and thats not something to disagree about, its a fact.

if apple chooses to remove a complete and functional private sync and to herd(notice, not forcing) us towards using icloud, removing the choice that is private syncing vs iCloud in mountain lion, then the “why” is a valid question.

especially now with “cloud” based solution is quickly loosing its fashion because of integrity reasons, (wont go there. but easy to say. i do not way to sync my private data across the atlantic cable.)

It may be a valid question, but it is NOT a question that can be addressed here at all. Discussing Apple policies and Apple policy decisions is forbidden by the TOS.
