[Opensync-users] Trouble with syncml plugin

[Stefan A. <ml...@ar...>]

Hi,

I've successfully compiled and installed opensync with the syncml-plugin from 
svn on a Debian Sarge system. What caused me some trouble was patching the 
libsoup. libsyncml has a dependency to libsoup-2.2.4 in Makefile.ac. I've 
changed this to libsoup-2.2 and patched the Debian source package of 
libsoup-2.2 with libsyncml/misc/libsoup-2.2.3.patch. After that libsyncml 
compiles and installs fine. Maybe there should be a hint in libsyncml's 
readme, because this patching is not obvious, it took me some time to figure 
out...

I've added a msynctool group using the syncml-http-server and the testmodule 
(python) for running a first test.

When trying to sync, I get this:

# msynctool --sync syncml
Synchronizing group "syncml"
The previous synchronization was unlean. Slow-syncing
Connect called!!
Member 1 of type syncml-http-server had an error while connecting: (null)
Member 2 of type testmodule just connected
disconnect called!
Member 2 of type testmodule just disconnected
All clients have disconnected
The sync failed: Unable to connect one of the members
Error synchronizing: Unable to connect one of the members

syncml-http-server.conf contains:
<config><username>sam</username><password>mypass</password><url></url><port>8080</port>

IMHO the syncml plugin should start a server on port 8080 and wait for a 
client (e.g. syncml-capable smartphone) to connect to and the then nstart the 
sync. The above message appears instantly, so it is not waiting for a client 
connection.

Any hints?

Regards,
Stefan

Hi,

sorry that i didnt provide much information on how to use this plugin:

Please see http://www.opensync.org/wiki/syncml-guide for a guide how to
use the syncml plugin.

Please note: This plugin is pre-beta and will likely fail. I am really
thankfull that you consider beta testing my software! Please report any
bugs you encounter so i can fix them quickly

does the actual version of the syncml plugin "do something"?
I have just installed and configured everything on my machine but I
cannot get my p800 sync with opensync via syncml.

It simply abort the initial connection telling "could not estabilish a
connection, check settings, try later" (this on the phone)

I have yet to try sniffing the traffic between the two, but first I
would like to know if the syncml plugin can actually sync something :)

I have created a profile syncml<->file and configured correctly
everything....even though I have noticed that the "resource" names are
not configured anywhere.
On the phone (and in general with syncml applications) one should
specify the name of a resource (like "addressbook" or "notes"), infact
in the old multisync it worked this way...

any hints?
I would like to get kde and my phone synced once for all :) (and I am
talking about addressbook, notes and calendar please ;))

Yes the syncml plugin can sync but at the moment there are some bugs
that prevent the start of the sync for some devices. These should be
fixed in some days. Im already working on this.

I will post a message to this list once it is ready.

thanks for considering beta testing opensync :)
