[Opensync-users] why is the syncm-http-server not listening?

[Ciro S. <mo...@ol...>]

Hi all,

at last I found some spare time to try to sync my P800, I followed the
syncml wiki and configured the syncml-http-server and kdepim plugins
correctly, I launch "msynctool --sync p800 --wait" but I cannot see
anything listening on port 8080 with netstat (and of course the phone
can't connect...)

here is the config for the syncml plugin:

<config><username>moray</username><password>XXXX</password>
<url>/sync</url><port>8080</port>
<usestringtable>0</usestringtable><onlyreplace>0</onlyreplace>
<recvLimit>0</recvLimit><maxObjSize>0</maxObjSize>
<contact_db>addressbook</contact_db><calendar_db>calendar</calendar_db>
<note_db>notes</note_db></config>

The phone is configured accordingly but I don't think this is the
problem, it seems the server doesn't work, or I am doing something wrong...

I am using the ubuntu/dapper packages provided by matthias jahn.

have you first tried to connect to your phone using the syncml-http-server 
from the libsyncml-utils package?
look at its manpage for details..

did you realy need the url, username and password?

no, url is not needed, while username and password is needed as the
client on the P800  uses authentication, but the p800 client reports a
connection error because no server is listening (I bring up a tcp over
ppp link using gnubox that does work).
The problem is that msynctool doesn't show up listening for a connection
while launching syncml-http-server alone seems to work...I'll
investigate later...

Ciro, I am trying the same with my P900, and I have connection, but my error
comes later, I am one step forward, ig this can help you. 

This is my syncml-http-server.conf

  <config> 
  <username>test</username>
  <password>test</password>
  <url>/</url>
  <port>8080</port>
  <usestringtable>0</usestringtable>
  <onlyreplace>0</onlyreplace>
  <recvLimit>0</recvLimit>
  <maxObjSize>0</maxObjSize>
  <contact_db>addressbook</contact_db>
  <calendar_db>calendar</calendar_db>
  <note_db>Notes</note_db>
  </config>

And the following is my phone configuration:

Server tab:
  Server address: http://IP_OF_MY_DEBIAN_BOX:8080/
  user name: test
  password: test

Protocol tab:
   transpor protocol: HTTP
   Use transport connection: no
   user:
   password:

Then I can start the sync with msynctool from the debian box and afterwards
I start the sync from the p900 phone with the following result:

  $ msynctool --sync p900-file --wait
  Synchronizing group "p900-file"
  received contact dsession
  Member 1 of type file-sync just connected
  Member 2 of type syncml-http-server just connected
  All clients connected or error
  Member 1 of type file-sync just sent all changes
  Member 2 of type syncml-http-server had an error while getting changes:
Timeout while waiting for a reply to message "GET_CHANGES"
  Member 1 of type file-sync just disconnected
  Member 2 of type syncml-http-server had an error while disconnecting:
Timeout while waiting for a reply to message "DISCONNECT"
  All clients have disconnected
  The sync failed: Unable to read from one of the members

I have also tried to connect to the phone using the syncml-http-server from
the libsyncml-utils package, but it does not work either. I have read a
Thread where one user modified the timeouts. I will try later to check if
this is the problem. If you make any improvement, please let me know.

Regards,
Carlos Sprekelsen

If you are using my packages at http://www.in.fh-merseburg.de/~jahn/.

There is also a experimental repro:
(deb http://www.in.fh-merseburg.de/~jahn/ experimental main)
with some (not well tested) patches from juergbi.

Please test them and report if they work for you.....


thanks

Matthias

The experimental repos did't work either. I am debuggin a little bit with
Ethereal, but I have not found any reason for the plugin not to work. What I
have found is that :

  - P900 always uses XML version 1.0 as opposed to WBXML.
  - EPOC SyncML client on the P900 uses SyncML version 1.0
  - The P900 sends an HTML POST Message, from the EPOC SyncML client and
expects to receive a "100-continue" from the server. 
  - The server answers "100 continue",but the SyncML client does not react
(might be the - in the middle what makes the difference?).

Can anyone tell me it there is an  incompatibility with SyncML version on
the client and server sides?

Thanks,
Carlos Sprekelsen
