Unable to sync contacts

[executive]

CardDAV sync does not work with MacOS. Unable to verify.

Strangely, CalDAV works fine. I used the URL provided in NC settings

here are the deets if you want to try it yourself:
user: troubleshoot
pw: ML5Qb66n7wG2cHQ

nextcloud. 20.0.5
MacOS 11.3.1
contents of my htaccess file:
# php – BEGIN cPanel-generated handler, do not edit
# This domain inherits the “PHP” package.
# php – END cPanel-generated handler, do not edit

AddHandler cgi-script .py
Header always set Strict-Transport-Security "max-age=31536000; includeSubDomains; preload" env=HTTPS

Have you tried as server address only the domain without subdirectory (mountainmanjoe.ca)?

[executive]

Thanks Bernie. It accepted that setting without verification error.(it that case Nextcloud shouldn’t be suggesting incorrect settings). But my contacts still aren’t being synced.

@executive

But my contacts still aren’t being synced.

Hm. I just added your troubleshoot account to my MacOS and the contacts get synced (both directions). I am on MacOS 11.4 though - but I doubt that this makes a difference. I did use Nextclouds contact sync also with MacOS 11.3.1 without any troubles.

EDIT: do you use any programs manipulating the network traffic (firewall etc., e.g. littlesnitch)?

[executive]

no, I don’t

[executive]

bump. any other ideas?

I tried setting it on my iPhone and no love there either.

[executive]

OK I just tried again using my mobile data and it worked. I’ve contacted my hosting provider to see what’s going on . This wouldn’t be the first time they’ve blacklisted my IP. Their security is so aggressive.

[executive]

confirmed. Hosting provider blocked me in firewall. Works fine now.
