Darn, I didn’t remember the URI correctly when creating the server templates for 0.8. Well, it’s an alpha after all :-/ Fixed in trunk. Thanks for reporting this.

It was set to “event2″!

Changed it to “cal2″ and it is syncing as i type!

Mike, the error message refers to “calendar” incorrectly. The reason is that the backend was originally written only for calendar events, then later also applied to memos and tasks. Evolution’s libecal is used for all of these. I fixed the message.

Regarding the 404 error: as in HTTP, this code is used to indicate “Not Found”. The full message from the server in the client.log might contain more information. The “addressbook” config seems okay, so would you mind checking the “calendar” source config? “syncevolution --quiet --print-config scheduleworld calendar” will show you this; without the “--quiet” you’ll also get the help texts.

The most relevant setting is “uri” – is it set to “cal2″, the iCalendar 2.0 source of ScheduleWorld?

Hmm – it seems to be complaining about the calendar though!

And I just installed Pimlico dates which looks like a calendar to me!

Mike, thanks for pointing this out. There are no memos or tasks on the device, so 0.8 shouldn’t have created sync sources for them. This is something that I’ll have to investigate and fix. In the meantime, please disable the extraneous sources with “syncevolution –configure –source-property sync=none memo todo”.

Thanks for the awesome work. Looking forward for a plugin for Evolution so that I don’t have to run it as a command-line cron job.

Today I have a script which runs every 10 minutes from crontab. If Evolution is running, syncevolution is run.
