CalDav/CardDav

[MatteoC]

Hello,


I just installed CalDav/CardDav support to OX 7.6.2 on two machines, one with Debian Stretch (x) and another with Debian Jessie (y). I see this behaviour:

1. I can access (with Dolphin file manger) webdavs://dav.mail2.x.it/servlet/webdav.infostore/ and see files
I can access (with Dolphin file manger) webdavs://dav.www.y.it/servlet/webdav.infostore/ and see files

2. I can acces webdavs://dav.mail2.x.it/ and see caldav, carddav and principals folders
I cannot acces webdavs://dav.www.y.it/ and I cannot see caldav, carddav and principals folders

I'm quite sure installation is identical on both machines (they are on two different LANs).

I Can't see particular errors in OX: how can I find the problem?

Because of point 1 above network configuration seems to be ok and OX and DAV too: why only caldav/carddav doesn't work, while webdav does?


Thanks,
Matteo

[MatteoC]

Note: with Dolphin I get the error "File or folder webdavs://dav.www.y.net/ doesn't exist", while with Cadaver command line client:

Impossible to access to / (non enabled for WebDAV?):
405 Method Not Allowed
Connection to "dav.www.y.net" closed.

[MatteoC]

Any ideas?

From logs I can see all this:

PS: for configuration I followed this document: http://oxpedia.org/wiki/index.php?ti...arddav_Bundles

I was wondering if you solved this problem, I'm experiencing the same issues with Caldav.

[MatteoC]

Unfortunately no. If you solve it, please, post your solution.

[BlackBurn]

Unfortunately no. If you solve it, please, post your solution.

It is not really solved, but more or less a work-around.

I changed from Ubuntu 14.04 to Debian 7.8 and everything was working right away after following the wiki.

I think that the problem are caused by Apache 2.4 (default on the Ubuntu repositories), Debian is running default Apache 2.2.
Looking at this site http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.4/upgrading.html it seems there are some fundamental changes between the two versions, I tried to resolve them, but unfortunately failed.

Maybe another way would be downgrading Apache on Ubuntu.

Thanks, yes, it could be that:
* my working configuration is on Debian 7.9 with Apache 2.2.22;
* my not working configuration is on Debian stretch/sid with Apache 2.4.16.

I'll take a look to these documents ASAP:

Hello,

I'm getting the same problem, did you finally solved it?

We finally found the solution, the cause is apache configuration changes, here's an example of working configuration with apache 2.4 on debian Jessie (1 file for proxy configuration and a virtualhost for caldav/carddav):

proxy configuration (in /etc/apache2/mods-available/proxy_ox.conf)

# open-xchange proxy configuration
<Location /webservices>
    # restrict access to the soap provisioning API
    Require host 127.0.0.1
    Require ip 192.168.15
</Location>

# the old path is kept for compatibility reasons
<Location /servlet/axis2/services>
    Require host 127.0.0.1
</Location>

    Require ip 192.168.15

And this a strange IPv3 address :-), but now it works GREAT!!! Thank you very much and sorry if I didn't reply soon, but I wav busy with other stuff.

Thanks again and have a nice day!
