Hi!
After updating KDE all the way I have sync problems with akonadi. It seems that data doesn't correctly refresh for Google contacts for example. The GUI for configuring the akonadi server disappeared (which is really unfortunate cause it made checking whether the server works right and looking at the appropriate logs nice and easy and all in one place - man, have I pressed that button "restart server" the last few years excessively!).
Now I know I can use akonadictl to start/stop the server but I do not know nor find the correct entries in akonadiserverrc.
I've always run akonadi on a local mysql server - now with all the new versions of akonadi and akonadi using applications I like to recreate my akonadi database from scratch. I do NOT want to change all my akonadi ressources and their individual settings - just like to reread all the data into a fresh database cause it seems that akonadi does not properly update some data in the database.
So my questions are:
a) - Is there a replacement for the akonadi server configuration GUI?
b) - What exactly has to be written into a fresh (emtpy) akonadiserverrc file to have akonadi run on my local mysql server?
c) - Which files and directories do I have to be deleted to get all akonadi data (not settings!) out of my system and recreate it?
d) - Is there still KDE4 akonadi stuff running and if yes how does it interact?
e) - Where is the documentation for akonadi in it's present iteration?
thx for reading,
piedro

As we are at it:
What do these errors in akonadiserver.errors refer to and how can this issue be resolved?
Cannot pause an inactive timer
Cannot resume a timer that is not paused.

a) - Is there a replacement for the akonadi server configuration GUI?
It is where it has always been: in akonadiconsole
c) - Which files and directories do I have to be deleted to get all akonadi data (not settings!) out of my system and recreate it?
~/.local/share/akonadi
d) - Is there still KDE4 akonadi stuff running and if yes how does it interact?
No

thx for your answer!
a) - Well regarding akonadiconsole - there has been a convenient additional "akonadi server configuration dialog" equipped with a tray icon and a configuration dialog for the server offering the entries like "use external server" and "additional server options" and "database password" and so forth... is there any replacement to that?
Can you tell me how to configure the akonadi server (database, db password, mysql options) with the akonadiconsole?
I can't find the settings anywhere...
If I have to do via the akonadiserverrc file, I can do it but I do not find any help for that file (defaults and necessary adds/changes for setting up the mysql server...) - if all that doesn't work I would switch to the Sqlite server method but even then I would need some defaults for the configuration file... the info on the net seems outdated.
c) - ok, I'll do that first...
d) - That is really good news! :-)))
Thx, p.

Are these settings correct (akonadiserverrc)?
[Debug]
Tracer=null
[%General]
Driver=QMYSQL
[QMYSQL]
Host=localhost
Name=akonadidb
Options=
Password=akonadidb-password
ServerPath=/usr/bin/mysqld
StartServer=false
User=akonadi
[QPSQL]
Host=
Name=akonadi
Password=
Port=5432
StartServer=true
User=
[SQLITE]
Name=akonadiThough using an external mysql database (well it's on my machine, but...) I get the ~/.local/share/akonadi folder to a size of 1.3 GB! This seems a bit huge to me... could someone clarify?
thx, p.
