Ximian Connector install

Has anyone been able to successfully install Ximian connector on Arch?  I saw there had been some effort made to get an Evolution 1.5.7 package to run on Arch (not finished yet as I understand).

Re: Ximian Connector install

Yeah, that's the tough thing about not using a 'mainstream' distro...not always getting packages you want in an easy to install way.  I haven't built any Arch packages in the past, so maybe this would be a good one to try it on when I get some time.

Re: Ximian Connector install

Hey, all!

I have this combination working perfectly right here at my workplace. Well, had.. until this morning. I got a sudden urge to try the bleeding edge evo 2.2 from testing. After upgrading, I've also upgraded ximian-connector to 2.1.6 version from testing. As a result I am not able to connect to exchange server anymore. Does anybody knows about a problem with these two? Thanks!

However, evolution 2.0.x and ximian-connector from extra worked perfectly for me. I guess, I can help you with the settings, if anyone interested.

Re: Ximian Connector install

evolution and connector from testing are working for me as of yesterday. I had to work through some little nuances. Let me know what your problem is and maybe I could help.

Re: Ximian Connector install

Hi!
Thanks for the reply first of all

Well, the problem is that after setting up an account, I get the following error message:

Error when scanning folders in "Exchange Server Blabla ".
Could not connect to Evolution Exchange backend process: No such file or directory.

The server name is not 'blabla', of course

The OWA url I've entered when defining an account matches the one I use to access Exchange through web browser:
http://blabla/exchange

P.S. Are you sure that your evolution version is 2.2.0 and not 2.1.6? 2.2.0 was only added today I think.

Re: Ximian Connector install

I'm sure that its 2.2, I update every day , I had similar problems because I was putting my username as username@domain, but switching it to domainusername solved it. Maybe try that?

Actually, I just put in the username, without the domain part. When I press "autheniticate" button and enter the password, I don't recieve any errors.

Things are even worse for me now. I tried to uninstall and reinstall both evolution and connector and now I don't see the exchange option at all, when creating a new account.  :?

I'll try the domain part, when/if I get evolution to recognize the connector properly.  :x

Thanks!

Re: Ximian Connector install

i've updated to the new Evolution 2.2 today but i can't access my Exchange mailbox anymore... I've tried what was said above but i get always the same message that there is no mail box for this user.
Everything worked perfectly with 2.0, excepted when i tried to access a shared mail box...

Any idea ?

thank you

Re: Ximian Connector install

I just wondered if there had been any progress on this. I have the same issue in that I get a "no mailbox" error. I can access my mailbox through the URL.

The files I have are
evolution 2.2.1.1-1
evolution-data-server 1.2.1-1
ximian-connector 2.2.1-1

Any help would be great

Thanx
