I have some accounts synced via CalDAV with Davdroid, now called DavX⁵. These accounts work fine.

However, when i want to connect a new account with DavX⁵ shows the error message:

Couldn't find CalDAV or CardDAV service

And the following log:

--- BEGIN DEBUG INFO ---

example.com and 12.34.56.78 are placeholders for the reals domain/ip.

I can reproduce this with all Nextcloud instances i have access to and it is not depending on the url (i tried with and without remote.php/dav [and varying trailing slashes…]).

2

I had the same, after deleting DAV… App and restart the Phone and reinstall DAVx I have no more problems to connect any DAV Account

3

Unfortunately it didn’t change anything.

4

I believe it is a server issue as it is device independent and happens with different NC Versions (14 and 13) run by different people on different web servers (Apache and NginX).

5

I posted it to the DavX⁵ Forum, maybe they have an idea:

6

One step further, after some log investigations:

@moonlies said in ‘Couldn’t find CalDAV or CardDAV service’ when setting up new accounts, while synchronisation works fine:

@rfc2822
Yes, i found something, however it doesn’t make it any less weird:

My account is syncing properly, i can see it in DavX⁵ and i see it in the access logs of nginx (answer code 207). Now, if i want to add the same account again, the requests are all answered with an error 401 at the same time the error shows in DavX⁵.

For the other account i added, the access is immediately denied for all requests.

This totally looks like a wrong credentials issue, however, as i mentioned, my own account works just fine, as long as i do not want to add it again. I am clueless. :thinking_face:

7

I had an issue with this when I enabled 2FA on Nextcloud, DavX5 didn’t like that. Worked again as soon as I disabled it.

8

That’s exactly the reason why app specific passwords exist under Settings > Personal > Security :wink:

9

I ALWAYS forget about that. Always. Thanks you.
