Hi. I haven't look at the how-to on the wiki, but here are the steps to configure syncml with egroupware:

1. Install php5-cgi as explain in this how-to http://sme.firewall-services.com/spip.php?article46 (Stop after Step 3, Step 4 is just an example)

2 Create a custom-template so that rpc.php is handled by php5:
Code: [Select]
vim /etc/e-smith/templates-custom/etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf/90egw-syncmland put this:

Code: [Select]
<Location /egroupware/rpc.php>
       AddHandler php5-cgi .php
       Action php5-cgi /php5-cgi/php
</Location>

3 Edit /etc/php5/php.ini (this file has no templates so you can edit it directly)
- Line 304
Code: [Select]
memory_limit = 8M, change it to a bigger value, for example
Code: [Select]
memory_limit = 32M- Line 1191 uncomment the line
Code: [Select]
mbstring.func_overload = 0 (I'm not sure this is usefull as php5-cgi has been compiled without mbstring support).

That's all, there's no need for htaccess file (htaccess could configure php4 because it's an apache module but not php5-cgi).

Now expand-template /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf and httpd -t to check if everything is ok, eventually sv t /service/httpd-e-smith to restart apache. Now the syncml should work. I've tested it with funambol plugin for outlook (several versions). I had some problem with duplication of contacts, but this is another thing, the syncml part just works.

Cheers.
C'est la fin du monde !!! :lol:

It's really quite easy.
Have a look here
http://wiki.contribs.org/Help:Contents

You can also open a Contrib or Howto wiki article and then click on edit to see how it is formatted etc.

I have a strange phenomena - i've done all of the above and syncing between outlook and the server is reported by funambol to be completed successfully but i can't see the synced items on eGroupware  web gui.
Egroupware is version 1.4.002 and SME is 7.3 with the latest updates, including smeserver-contribs updates and funambol is version 6.5.8 (latest for now).

Where to start finding whats wrong ?
Thanks,

Amir

I have seen this happen if you setup your client to sync via vcard and not sif.

There are more details about this on egroupware.org.

Did anyone manage to get PUSH EMAIL Working???

thanks to the fantastic guides that you guys have put together I have successfully installed egroupware, php5 and got funambol synchronizing my contacts, calendar, notes etc....   but I don't understand how to get push email working.

I have not been able to find any documentation which clearly outlines the procedure for enabling push email.

I have funambol installed on my PocketPC (Windows Mobile) PDA but when it sync's email it just seems to do nothing. NO errors, but no emails.

Anyone go this far? Can anyone point me to some good documentation?

Thanks!
Aaron

Anyone else getting failure after failure?

"Can't acces the server" from the Funambol client.

Checked and double-checked the entire howto, and the only thing I can't do is edit the .htaccess file (because I don't know how to, where it is etc)

What should I be checking?

Edit the .htaccess file using SSH and a text editor such as PICO.

I had numerous problems accessing the server but it was due to the SSL Certificate of my SME certificate not being installed as a trusted root certificate source. Install the certificate of your SME server on your workstations.

Turn the logs up on FUNAMBOL client and check it after an unsuccessful sync... it should give you enough information to move forward.
