[Org-Caldav] Trouble connecting to a caldav server other Google calendar

[Charles-H. Schulz]

Hi,

I'm using the KolabNow service for emails and groupware. As I'm in the 
process of transitioning my email and groupware on Emacs, I was 
interested by org-caldav, and KolabNow claims that their CalDAV calendar 
can integrate with org-mode through org-caldav ( 
https://kolabnow.com/clients/emacs ). So far their suggestions and docs 
pointed me to right thing (TM) but with org-caldav that is not the case.

Looking a bit into the files, I realized the package itself has the 
default configuration set on Google Calendar. I had to adapt it a bit to 
fit KolabNow as the link above describes it. Still after running a M-x 
org-caldav-sync I will get the following error message that "URL of the 
kolabnow calendar server" does not seem to accept DAV requests. I 
tinkered a bit with the authentification credentials but I'm running out 
of ideas. Browsing this list's archives I did find, however, that a few 
other people had problems outside Google Calendar.

Feedback / Help appreciated.

Thanks,

So you are not using the correct URL...  You might also have to set
org-caldav-calendar-id to a correct value.

If you have an Android phone you could try Davidroid from F-Droid.  As I
recall, it's pretty good at discovering webdav sources (but it's a long
time since I set it up so this could be completely wrong).

Perhaps this might be of use?

(i've not yet tried it, myself, though i hope to get to doing so 
in the near future ....)

There might also be a connection with this Emacs issue:
