How do I setup CalDav and CardDav servers on my Mac to enable local 'cloud' syncing in Mavericks

I followed your instruction while in Admin account and got the error message. Yes, the sudo command can only be done in Admin account. Some commands can be done in Standard mode. I usually use my computer in Standard mode.

Yes, triple-click the line, Cmd-C to copy, then Cmd-V in Terminal as per your instruction :-). You can see the command in my last post. Does it look OK?

That is the command to list the directory, not to change the owner. This is step 5.

sudo chown -Rf www:www /Library/WebServer/Documents/dav.baikal-server

You check it with the command you posted.

I did the commands again in Admin account and got:

I still get the same error message when accessing: https://localhost:8443

Delete the ENABLE_INSTALL file and run this command:

sudo touch /Library/WebServer/Documents/dav.baikal-server/Specific/ENABLE_INSTALL

Thanks Barney for your kind and patient support. This operation did the trick and let me in the initialization wizard. I entered a 4 number password, saved and got new error messages. I thought I went over the hurdle but it's feel more like an obstacle course :-)

Install Tool

Baïkal initialization wizard

Configure your new Baïkal 0.2.6 installation.

If I refresh the already open browser page (https://localhost:8443/admin/install/), I get:

Baïkal Install Tool is locked.

To unlock it, create (or re-create if it exists already) an empty file named ENABLE_INSTALL (uppercase, no file extension) in the Specific/ folder of Baïkal.

If I open a new page with https://localhost:8443 (leads to https://localhost:8443/admin/install/), I get:

I just realized that the result of the 2nd part of my last post is due to the dissapearance of the ENABLE_INSTALL file. Re-installing the file replicates the first part of my last post. I don't know how the ENABLE_INSTALL file dissapeared. I couln'd replicate the dissapearance of the ENABLE_INSTALL file by refreshing or accessing (https://localhost:8443) the browser page. Still stuck with the error messages in the initialization wizard page. Strange indeed...

The ENABLE_INSTALL file vanished again and I still don't know how and why. It may have happened after several reloading of the initialization wizard page.

That's how it disables the Install mode. The file must be present to run the Install routine. Once done, the file is deleted to prevent anyone from being able to re-run the install.

I don't know what those errors are. They are look like errors releated to the php implementation or the Baikal server. I can't remember, but were you using a different php implementation? If so, that could be the issue.

OK, it makes sense. I don't recall to have made changes in php implementation.

After this summer's news and having alway avoided syncing with icloud my datas, i have decided to set up a claim to the french (sorry i'm french) cnil (national commission for computing and freedom so that they officially investigate that matter, and at the same time to the european council.

I was considering buying both new mac an iphone in a close future but without having back the ability to sync directly bewtween my computer and my phone without sharing over the internet i will surely not do so and go back to windows and some other phone building company that will garantee the total privacy of these datas.

so long apple!

Ps: maybe, we, foreign users of apple products should contact our representatives and governments to counterfight this behaviours, as well as our own journalists to have it known by our fellow citizens, especially in this days of christmas gifts, i'm sure apple will react to a market share loss.

They will miss your patronage dearly. Good luck with the investigation. 😝

So long.

Those errors are internal to Baikal server. I don't know what they mean and have never seen them.

Thanks for the effort Barney. I guess I am out of luck :-)
