OwnCloud
ownCloud is an open source cloud software suite for remote access of calendar, address and file data.
As of 2012-02-25 there are a number of known issues (bugs) in the SabreDAV version used by ownCloud. Please try to update the SabreDAV part of your ownCloud installation first if something doesn't work as expected.
Setup
The ownCloud calendar and address book URLs changed recently. Afaik the values below are true for the latest release.
CalDAV-Sync
- Server URL: <servername>/owncloud/apps/calendar/caldav.php/calendars/
- Use SSL: check accordingly
- Username: your login name
- Password: your password
Note: The /owncloud/ part depends on your setup. If it doesn't work try /cloud/ (or whatever your ownCloud root is) instead.
CardDAV-Sync
enter manual mode
- Server URL: <servername>/owncloud/apps/contacts/carddav.php/addressbooks/ (use https if you want to use SSL)
- Use SSL: check accordingly
- Username: your login name
- Password: your password
Note: The /owncloud/ part depends on your setup. If it doesn't work try /cloud/ (or whatever your ownCloud root is) instead.
known issues
CalDAV
There is a known bug in SabreDAV (which is used by ownCloud): If your calendar contains events with certain time zone IDs that are not recognized by SabreDAV then the server returns an "internal server error" instead of a proper response to the calendar query. Currently your only option is to find those events and delete them (or change the time zone id). Please note that many desktop clients like Thunderbird Lightning and Evolution do not use "calendar query" and thus still work with ownCloud in that case.
If some recurring events are missing on your phone see: [1]. Alternatively update SabreDAV in your ownCloud installation to the most recent SabreDAV release.
CardDAV
During my tests I noticed, that ownCloud seems to populate the vcard file with the FN (formatted name) field only and omits the N (structured name) field. On some phones this may result in improperly displayed names. Please report!
