apt-get install libpq-dev postgresql php5 php5-pgsql php5-imap php5-curl php5-cgi libyaml-perl libdbi-perl davical emacs /etc/postgresql/9.4/main/pg_hba.conf
Add at the very top of the file:
local davical davical_app trust local davical davical_app trust
Reload postgresql:
/etc/init.d/postgresql restart
Now:
cd /usr/share/davical/dba su postgres -c /usr/share/davical/dba/create-database.sh
It gives message:
Supported locales updated. Updated view: dav_principal.sql applied. CalDAV functions updated. RRULE functions updated. Database permissions updated. NOTE ==== * The password for the 'admin' user has been set to 'something' Thanks for trying DAViCal! Check in /usr/share/doc/davical/examples/ for some configuration examples. For help, visit #davical on irc.oftc.net.
Create virtual server and edit the config:
emacs /etc/apache2/sites-available/davical.joel.co.in.conf
Davical wiki recommends the following:
<VirtualHost x.y.z.a> DocumentRoot /usr/share/davical/htdocs DirectoryIndex index.php index.html ServerName davical.yoursite.com ServerAlias calendar.yoursite.com Alias /images/ /usr/share/davical/htdocs/images/ ErrorLog /var/log/virtualmin/davical.yoursite.com_error_log CustomLog /var/log/virtualmin/davical.yoursite.com_access_log combined <Directory /usr/share/davical/htdocs/> AllowOverride None Order allow,deny Allow from all </Directory> AcceptPathInfo On </VirtualHost>
But only the following worked:
<VirtualHost *:80> ServerName davical.yoursite.com ServerAlias calendar.yoursite.com DocumentRoot /usr/share/davical/htdocs DirectoryIndex index.php index.html Alias /images/ /usr/share/davical/htdocs/images/ ErrorLog /var/log/virtualmin/davical.yoursite.com_error_log CustomLog /var/log/virtualmin/davical.yoursite.com_access_log combined <Directory /usr/share/davical/htdocs/> Options -Indexes +IncludesNOEXEC +SymLinksIfOwnerMatch +ExecCGI allow from all AllowOverride All Options=ExecCGI,Includes,IncludesNOEXEC,Indexes,MultiViews,SymLinksIfOwnerMatch Require all granted AddType application/x-httpd-php .php AddHandler fcgid-script .php AddHandler fcgid-script .php5 FCGIWrapper /home/joel/domains/davical.yoursite.com/fcgi-bin/php5.fcgi .php FCGIWrapper /home/joel/domains/davical.yoursite.com/fcgi-bin/php5.fcgi .php5 </Directory> AcceptPathInfo On </VirtualHost>
Now reload apache and the webpage.
Configure the file adding the following:
$c->admin_email = '[email protected]'; $c->system_name = "DAViCal CalDAV Server"; $c->enable_row_linking = true; $c->default_locale = 'en_US.UTF-8'; $c->pg_connect[] = 'dbname=davical port=5432 user=davical_app';
Now reload the page and it should show login screen. Use the password that was earlier generated.
