AgenDAV

AgenDAV ist eine open source CalDAV Web-Application, geschrieben in PHP und AJAX interface.

Die Installation gestaltet sich noch etwas schwierig. Das AgenDAV-Handbuch schlägt folgende Vorgehensweise vor:

AgenDAV 1.2.6.2 requires the following software to be installed:

• A CalDAV server (developed mainly with DAViCal
• A web server
• PHP >= 5.3.0
• PHP mbstring extension
• PHP cURL extension
• MySQL > 5.1 or PostgreSQL >= 8.1

AgenDAV 1.2.6.2 can be obtained at AgenDAV official webpage, but you can use GitHub to download latest version. Have a look at http://github.com/adobo/agendav.

Uncompress it using tar:

$ tar xzf adobo-agendav-...tar.gz
$ cd adobo-agendav-.../

AgenDAV requires a database to store some information. Supported RDBMs are MySQL and PostgreSQL.

First of all you have to create a user and a database for that user.

Second, you’ll have to create initial AgenDAV tables using provided SQL files inside sql/ directory.

Last step is applying database upgrades to initial database tables.

Use the special postgres system user to manage your installation. You can add a new user and a new database the following way:

# su postgres
$ psql
postgres=# CREATE USER agendav WITH PASSWORD 'somepassword';
postgres=# CREATE DATABASE agendav ENCODING 'UTF8';
postgres=# GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON DATABASE agendav TO agendav;
postgres=# \q
$ exit

Then you have to edit the file pg_hba.conf, which is usually located at /var/lib/pgsql/. Add the following line before other definitions:

# TYPE  DATABASE    USER        CIDR-ADDRESS          METHOD
local   agendav     agendav     trust

After that just restart PostgreSQL and load the initial schema:

$ psql -U agendav agendav < sql/pgsql.schema.sql

Initial database structure created with *.sql files provides only a base structure for AgenDAV. It has to be modified to apply latest release changes. To do this, follow instructions on Database upgrade.

Apache has to be configured to point to web/public directory, using its own VirtualHost or just an Alias.

Example using a dedicated virtualhost:

<VirtualHost 1.2.3.4:443> ServerAdmin admin@email.host DocumentRoot /path/to/agendav/web/public ServerName agendav.host ErrorLog logs/agendav_error_log CustomLog logs/agendav_access_log common </VirtualHost>

Example using the Alias directive:

Alias /agendav /path/to/agendav/web/public

Note

Make sure that you have the following PHP settings disabled:

  magic_quotes_gpc
  magic_quotes_runtime
