I tried your suggestion for the third command but when I start initiate a sync I get the error message that no configuration could be found for the deviceID (like with the third variation below). It's correct that I don't need to use the keyring=no option again in the third command but I have to apply the SSLVerifyServer=False option also in the third command for creating the Palm peer, otherwise I get a SSL verification error. As a result of these observations I tried to initiate a sync with the following three versions of the third command (for every variation I started with an empty syncevolution config and reapplied the first two commands before every time as well): 1. My previous version without keyring=no: syncevolution --configure SSLVerifyServer=False --template SyncEvolution_Client --sync-property remoteDeviceId=ST23K3J5I4JX username=admin password=admin --source-property addressbook/uri=addressbook Palm-TH55@webdav RETURNS: "First ERROR encountered: error code from SyncEvolution fatal error (local, status 10500): no sources active, check configuration" 2. My previous version without keyring=no but with sync=two-way as you suggested: syncevolution --configure SSLVerifyServer=False --template SyncEvolution_Client --sync-property remoteDeviceId=ST23K3J5I4JX username=admin password=admin --source-property addressbook/uri=addressbook sync=two-way Palm-TH55@webdav RETURNS: "First ERROR encountered: error code from SyncEvolution fatal error (local, status 10500): no sources active, check configuration" --> Same error message 3. My previous version without keyring=no but with sync=two-way and addressbook like you suggested: syncevolution --configure SSLVerifyServer=False --template SyncEvolution_Client --sync-property remoteDeviceId=PN70M9J5V7JX username=admin password=admin --source-property addressbook/uri=addressbook sync=two-way Palm-TH55@webdav addressbook RETURNS for the command: "[INFO] addressbook: looking for databases... [INFO] addressbook: no database to synchronize [ERROR] addressbook: no database to synchronize" AND for the sync initiation: "no configuration found for deviceID ST23K3J5I4JX" <div class="moz-cite-prefix">On 1/14/14 8:29 AM, Patrick Ohly wrote: </div> <blockquote cite="mid:1389684576.19530.7.camel@pohly-mobl1.fritz.box" type="cite"> <pre wrap="">On Tue, 2014-01-14 at 05:37 +0100, Helge Kraak wrote: </pre> <blockquote type="cite"> <pre wrap="">### Third command ### syncevolution --configure keyring=no SSLVerifyServer=False --template SyncEvolution_Client --sync-property remoteDeviceId=ST23K3J5I4JX username=admin password=admin --source-property addressbook/uri=addressbook --source-property calendar/uri=events --source-property todo/uri=tasks --source-property memo/uri=memo Palm-TH55@webdav RETURNS: [INFO] addressbook: looking for databases...

It's merely informational, so what you end up with should be a config where these sources are simply not enabled ("sync" = "none" or "disabled"). </pre> <blockquote type="cite"> <pre wrap="">Here I'm stuck. What am I missing so that the database on at the WebDAV server cannot be found? </pre> </blockquote> <pre wrap=""> If you want to enable just contacts, then use: syncevolution --configure \ --template SyncEvolution_Client \ remoteDeviceId=ST23K3J5I4JX \ username=admin password=admin \ sync=two-way \ Palm-TH55@webdav \ addressbook You don't need to repeat values like keyring=no which were already set earlier. "--source-property addressbook/uri=addressbook" is redundant, because the name of the source and URI are identical in this case. What I added is "sync=two-way", to ensure that the addressbook source really gets enabled for the Palm-TH55 client. </pre> </blockquote> </body> </html>
