[Calendarserver-maintainers] Bug#558423: calendarserver: Unable to PUT to non-file

[Benoit Panizzon]

Package: calendarserver
Version: 1.2.dfsg-8
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable


Hi there

I did try to install the calendar server on two machines under 'etch' and 'lenny'.

On the later one I did a minimum change of the config, just removed the binding to 'localhost' to be able to access my server from outside.

Still I can reproduce the Problem:

2009-11-28 20:01:47+0100 [-] [caldav-8008]  [HTTPChannel,2,IP] GET /calendars/users/admin/calendar/ HTTP/1.1
2009-11-28 20:02:00+0100 [-] [caldav-8008]  [HTTPChannel,4,IP] PUT /calendars/users/admin/calendar/ HTTP/1.1
2009-11-28 20:02:00+0100 [-] [caldav-8008]  [HTTPChannel,4,IP] 'Unable to PUT to non-file: /var/spool/caldavd/calendars/__uids__/38eae584-2b75-582b-a058-018391d1003f/calendar'

After some time googleing and trying to find helpfull documentation on
how to set access rights etc, it looks like some parts of twisted.web try to access
a directory as a file...

Any idea how to resolve that problem?
