Getting Started

I have an error : Call to undefined method Sabre_DAV_FS_Directory::get()

Hi emmanuel,

You'll get that error when you try to open your sabredav installation through a webbrowser, which is not how its intended to be used..

Give it a shot using Finder (if you're on a mac) or DavFS2 (if you're on linux..) I realize I didn't include this in this tutorial, so I'll add that in..

Thanks

After following these instructions my httpd spins out of control, repeatedly crashing every few seconds, even though it was minutes since I stopped trying to connect to the DAV server.

Apache/2.2.6 (installed with Darwin Ports on Mac OS X 10.5.2 connecting with Finder)

This is the message in apache's error_log:

child pid 16418 exit signal Segmentation fault (11)

Thats a nasty one, and usually means PHP goes into some infinite or recursive loop..

Do you know for which method it goes wrong? Is it straight on the first propfind or does it happen in a later stage? I'll go and test this on my Mac as well, so far i've only tried it on Debian. I'm sure you are, but make sure your running it on a PHP version in the 5.2. range

Sorry, I didn't extract more info than that. The crash was so hard I wasn't keen on trying again...

I was running PHP 5.2.5 installed via MacPorts? (php5 @5.2.5_1+apache2+macosx+mysql5+sqlite).

works like a charm here, php-5.2.6 on gentoo linux, with a windows client.

evertpot, will there be a set of hooks which will let me do some actions on a delete/get/put or something? or do i have to write/extend my own driver for such things?

Hi Stephan,

To extend the webdav service with your own business logic, you have 2 choices. You can extend the Tree class, which basically gives you a method for every operation, or you can use the ObjectTree? and create your own File and Directory classes.

http://code.google.com/p/sabredav/wiki/ObjectTree

An example of how this is done can be seen in the FS/ directory.

The latest version (0.3.118) fixes the segmentation faults I was having.

A comment on the instructions: "This is how the file should look like" refers to a file that has not previously been mentioned. Perhaps it should be clarified which file this is, where it should be located, etc.

I have assumed that this is the script that is going to respond to the request and that it can be located anywhere as long as the paths to the various directories and SabreDAV code are right, but it is not at all clear and the current wording is confusing (cut and pasted from a longer description perhaps?).

Apart from that the instructions on this page are simple and give you just enough to get you started.

Glad the segmentation fault was fixed.. I'll be updating the docs shortly as well, it does actually seem like part of the documenation is missing altogether..

Made some updates to this page based on the suggestions. If anyone if you guys (theo or stephan) are interested in getting access and help out, please let me know! Very happy with you guys finding my mistakes :)

I works perfectly. I tried to integrate it with my home made CMS and it works :) Unfortunately I had to change each require_once to get the right file. Did you think about any constant that would point to SabreDav? folder?

Hey Risto,

Adding a constant is a bit uncommon, it is generally recommended to make sure the library is in your 'include_path' instead. Once you got that, everything should work out of the box.

Suggested tools:

Wireshark for protocol debugging and the REST Client Firefox plugin for making custom HTTP requests.

Maybe fiddler proxy can help when debugging: some hints are on http://bit.ly/16htQ6

Hi Evert,

I have downloaded your SabreDav?? software and thanks for the caldav support and your hard work. I have installed the sabredav on my web server and after running your test example, I get the output as

SabreDAV 1.2.0 is installed.

After that, I made the server file with name testserver.php and made the twi directories as suggested above. After that opened the testserver.php and I get the error message as

Sabre_DAV_Exception_FileNotFound?? File with name public/testserver.php could not be located 1.2.0

Can you tell me where I am doing some thing wrong. In the comment above you mentioned that Server should be run using davfs2 on linux, but how to do.

Thanks for your help !! Guri

Hi gurvindersinghdahiya,

Your baseUrl is wrong. Try setting it to 'public/testserver.php/'

Evert

Hi, It works great. But i've a problem regarding using SabreDAV with Openconnector for outlook calendar sync. Can we do this...? If yes then could you please tell me how to do it. As i tried to connect with open connector, its being connected, but as i pass the url as HOME URI, in my case: http://localhost/SabreDAV/calendarserver.php/calendars/admin/, the open connector shows only a folder and no calendar files, as the files are under /admin/default/ directory, how to do it..?

I've never tried using Openconnector. Perhaps you can try principals/admin instead of calendars/admin.

If you still have trouble, head over to the mailing list: http://groups.google.com/group/sabredav-discuss

and start debugging with Charles HTTP Proxy.

same problem as @sudhirconscious :(

I installd Sabre_DAV, Sabre_CalDAV by pear, and got this error message.

Sabre_DAV_Exception_Forbidden? Requested uri (/dav/server.php) is out of base uri (/storage/content/66/102766/produktion.infostig.se/public_html/dav/) 1.2.5

This is my baseurl in the webhotel: /storage/content/66/102766/produktion.infostig.se/public_html/

Webhotell call this root: /produktion.infostig.se/public_html/

My struktur of SabreDAV is after /public_html

/dav
  /data
  /public	
  server.php

/Sabre
  /CalDav
  /DAV
  /HTTP
  autoload.php

Mr. produktion,

The base uri is a uri, not a local path name. If you change the base uri to /dav/server.php/ you should be fine.

Evert

Thanks! At least a new, error

Sabre_DAV_Exception_NotImplemented? GET is only implemented on File objects 1.2.5

This is correct. You are doing a GET request on a directory. You could add the browser plugin to get directory indexes.

Head over to the mailing list if you have more questions =)

Hi, a quick question, 'cause I really don't understand why $server->getRequestUri() is always empty

$rootDirectory = new Sabre_DAV_FS_Directory('public'); $server = new Sabre_DAV_Server($rootDirectory); $server->setBaseUri('/cad/sabreDAV/index.php/');

$browserPlugin = new Sabre_DAV_Browser_Plugin?();

$server->addPlugin($browserPlugin);

$server->exec();

Directory Structure:

/cad/sabreDAV/ here is index.php with server instantiation

/cad/sabreDAV/public Directory that I want to browse

Everything works fine, except that the browser plugin writes out

Index for /

Rather than Index for /public.

Why?

I appreciate any feedback.

Thank you, Davide

requestUri returns the url, relative to the baseuri.

Thanks for the reply but I can't get it...

If I see your online test example, I notice that it works perfectly.

head over to the mailing list, and provide more detail there.

This page should be updated to use non-deprecated APIs:

Sabre_DAV_Locks_Backend?_FS:

• This Lock Manager is now deprecated. It has a bug that allows parent
• collections to be deletes when children deeper in the tree are locked.
• You are recommended to use either the PDO or the File backend instead.

Fixed, thank you

Hi Evert,

I followed the procedure you mentioned above. I am getting the following result in the browser:

<d:error> <s:exception>Sabre_DAV_Exception_NotImplemented?</s:exception> <s:message>GET is only implemented on File objects</s:message> <s:sabredav-version>1.4.2</s:sabredav-version> </d:error>

This is slightly different from your result shown in the procedure. Can you tell me whether my installation is correct or am I missing something ??

Thanks

Sadan Masroor

Hi Evert,

It is kindly requested to let me know that the result I am getting in my browser is as follows:

<d:error>

<s:exception>Sabre_DAV_Exception_NotImplemented?</s:exception> <s:message>GET is only implemented on File objects</s:message>

<s:sabredav-version>1.4.2</s:sabredav-version>

The above result is slightly different from the one you posted. Can you please let me know whether my installation is correct or not ?

Thank You

Sadan Masroor

Yup this is correct. Things changed over time =)

Hi Evert,

thanks for the great framework. As far as I understand, if I get this message, i should have sabredav installed successfully.

<d:error><s:exception>Sabre_DAV_Exception_NotImplemented?</s:exception><s:message>GET is only implemented on File objects</s:message><s:sabredav-version>1.4.3</s:sabredav-version></d:error>

But i can't connect via Mac OS X finder on my Snow Leopard. any ideas?

No ideas right off the bat; try adding the Sabre_DAV_Browser_Plugin? and see if that works; if you still have issues, go to the mailing list.

Hi Evert, thanks for you reply, I added Sabre_DAV_Browser_Plugin?, and find the problem is that I didn't set the right path for root directory.

The baseUri may be automatically guessed with :

$baseUri = substr(dirname(FILE), strlen(FILE) - strlen($SERVER['SCRIPT_NAME']));

Took me 15 minutes to find the create table statement of the PDO to function

$tree = new Sabre_DAV_ObjectTree?(

new Sabre_DAV_FS_Directory('your_file_path')

$server = new Sabre_DAV_Server($tree);

$lock_db = new PDO('sqlite:'.'your_path'.DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR.'lockdb.sqlite');

$lock_db->setAttribute(PDO::ATTR_ERRMODE,PDO::ERRMODE_EXCEPTION);

$lock_db->query('CREATE TABLE if not exists locks (id integer primary key asc, owner text, timeout text, created integer, token text, scope integer, depth integer, uri text)');

$backend = new Sabre_DAV_Locks_Backend?_PDO($lock_db);

$server->addPlugin(

new Sabre_DAV_Locks_Plugin?($this->backend)

John,

All the .sql files are in the examples directory.

hello I have a problem with saberdav especially the location of server.php file and project structure
