Struggling to sync contacts via the SoGo integrator and CalDAV?

Passing a user name with an @ symbol, spaces or any special characters?

Mine started to sync after I changed the @ to %40 as an encoded URL. Give it a try, it might work.

Modifications to a bash script by Konstantin Kovshenin to backup a WordPress site.

[code lang=”bash”]
# This script creates a compressed backup archive of the given directory and the given MySQL table.
# More details on implementation here: https://theme.fm
# Feel free to use this script wherever you want, however you want. We produce open source, GPLv2 licensed stuff.

# Modification by Pete Stoves at September 2013:
# Lives well with ubuntu virtual hosts etc.

# Make sure we have been passed a site name to backup

It seems that Zentyal has a different view when it comes to where to store samba shares. Traditionally samba shares live under /var/spool/samba. Zentyal disallows this.

To overcome the Path not allowed. It cannot be under error, a little edit is needed.

Open the file SambaShares.pm which is under /usr/share/perl5/EBox/Samba/Model

The list of forbidden share locations is
use constant FILTER_PATH => ('/bin', '/boot', '/dev', '/etc', '/lib', '/root',
'/proc', '/run', '/sbin', '/sys', '/var', '/usr');
Just remove the ,’/var’ entry.

To restrict access to a web area, place the following in your virtual host config.

The details for LDAP settings can be found in the LDAP Settings of the Users and Groups menu

AuthName "Charnvel staff only"
AuthType Basic
AuthBasicProvider ldap
AuthzLDAPAuthoritative on
AuthLDAPUrl ldap://localhost:390/ou=Users,dc=charnvel,dc=co,dc=uk?uid # The user need to enter their uid (logon)
AuthLDAPBindDN cn=zentyalro,dc=charnvel,dc=co,dc=uk
AuthLDAPBindPassword # enter the read only LDAP password from Zentyal
Require ldap-group cn=webapps,ou=Groups,dc=charnvel,dc=co,dc=uk # User needs to be a member of the webapps group to authenticate.
#Require valid-user # User only authentication

When testing, it seems that LDAP lookups are cached with a TTL of 10 mins.

This is all down to my lack of knowledge of Apache.

I’ve got several virtual servers running under Apache, with WebDAV enabled on a development site. As part of an investigation into how well i can run ASP under Apache using Mono, I’ve setup another virtual host with mod_mono enabled. The idea is the to enable WebDAV so I can publish from Visual Studio to this site.

Both virtual servers have the same (or similar apart from paths) WebDAV configuration.

WebDAV worked fine on one, but not on another. The other being the VS with ASP running.

It finally dawned upon me that after intercepting any WebDAV commands, apache was then (behaving as it should) giving those commands to mono (SetHandler mono is in one part of the location config). Adding SetHandler none to my WebDAV config sorted the problem – 3 Hours later
