Topic: SME 8 Kronolith Contrib and thunderbird Lightning sync - works

[larieu]

from some time I try to make calendar (lightning) to sync and be able to work bidirectional with kronolith of Horde (webmail) default webmail of SME server
because in sme 7 it was needed to upgrade to php5 and do several "not standard" sme workarounds I avoided to do it
( more detail was found here http://forums.contribs.org/index.php/topic,42107.msg197589.html#msg197589 )

now I have in testing one sme8 server
and I tried to see what it will happen
first I have checked "default package" on my sme box and seemed to be more actual than that in the previous post

after yum update and signal-event post-upgrade + reboot
I installed smeserver-kronolith contrib http://wiki.contribs.org/Kronolith mod_dav contrib http://wiki.contribs.org/DAV (again post-update and reboot)
and I issued this commands in console

Code: [Select]

pear upgrade PEAR
pear install HTTP_WebDAV_Server-beta

it started to work immediately without needing to post-upgrade or reboot
the difference between standard ics sharing of kronolith and this was a small change in location on server (it apeared one rpc.php in path)

In my searching I didn't find any detailed information how to do it on sme 8 or in kronolith contrib
and I think it is useful

I don't see to be here http://wiki.contribs.org/SME8.0_Contribs_QA also
can anyone make an adjustment?

thank you for your feedback

you can add yourself: create a wiki account and edit the page

please, next time, don't post SME8 related topic in SME7 forums: use General discussions, thank you

You should not have done so. This makes tracking issues in the future a lot harder as you have effectively upgraded part of your system, without upgrading the proper RPMs. Was the PEAR upgrade really necessary? Did you really need HTTP_WebDAV_Server?

Moving to General Discussion where it is more appropriate. Thanks.

catus
thanks for your concern

Was the PEAR upgrade really necessary?

don't know - I like to have everything "uptodate" and it was most probably one "reflex" act

if I don't change the repositories to force use other ones I supposed that it will work on "default ones"
Am I right?

Did you really need HTTP_WebDAV_Server?

without doing this Lightning wasn't able to work bidirectional
I was able to post events on kronolith and see them in thunderbird but the other way wasn't functional
it start to work only after this command and changing path for calendar in Lightning
and I didn't find any other way to do it
that mean most probably YES

I have tried it from one Windows CE mobile device and it seems to work also
unfortunately form my android 1.6 I don't find an way to solve it

Hi,

With SME 8 beta6 :

yum --enablerepo=smecontribs install smeserver-kronolith
and
yum install smeserver-mod_dav --enablerepo=smecontribs

gave me :
No package smeserver-kronolith available.
Nothing to do
and
No package smeserver-mod_dav available.
Nothing to do

Whats wrong ?

Whats wrong ?

did you read the wiki page linked here?

Hi,
1st thx for your answer.

I installed smeserver-kronolith contrib http://wiki.contribs.org/Kronolith mod_dav contrib http://wiki.contribs.org/DAV (again post-update and reboot)
and I issued this commands in console

Yes i read it and try it too :
http://wiki.contribs.org/Kronolith

Step-by-step HowTo for installation of Kronolith on a fresh SME server 7.3.
Installation

Log in (with username root) to the SME server console.

Install kronolith and smeserver-kronolith with:

yum --enablerepo=smecontribs install smeserver-kronolith
signal-event post-upgrade; signal-event reboot

juste do that as its describ.

Where is no smeserver-kronolith in smecontribs for 8 beta6
and the same for DAV

or

yum upgrade

pear upgrade PEAR
yum --enablerepo=centosplus install php.i386 php-pear-Net-Socket php-pear-Auth-SASL php-pear-DB php-pear-HTTP php-pear-Mail php-pear-XML-Parser
pear install HTTP_WebDAV_Server-beta
yum --enablerepo=* install smeserver-kronolith
mysql horde < /home/httpd/html/horde/scripts/sql/horde_alarms.sql
mysql horde < /home/httpd/html/horde/scripts/sql/horde_locks.sql
wget http://ftp://ftp.horde.org/pub/kronolith/kronolith-h3-2.3-rc1.tar.gz
tar zxvf kronolith-h3-2.3-rc1.tar.gz
cp -R kronolith-h3-2.3-rc1/* /home/httpd/html/horde/kronolith/ --reply=yes
rm -Rf kronolith-h3-2.3-rc1
vim /etc/e-smith/templates/home/httpd/html/horde/config/conf.php/9999locks
insert these two lines and save:
$conf['lock']['params']['driverconfig'] = 'horde';
$conf['lock']['driver'] = 'sql';
signal-event post-upgrade
signal-event reboot

?

hi tesquenure

did you changed your "contribs" repository to point to "old" SME7 ?
this can be your problem

[Stefano]

Hi,
1st thx for your answer.

Yes i read it and try it too

please read carefully here

I suggest you to create a smecontribs7 repository entry

then you can install kronolith with

Code: [Select]

yum --enablerepo=smecontribs7 install smeserver-kronolith

please, take some time to read the wiki, thank you
