Errors in log, but syncing seems to be working...

[sterling]

I've got a webdav server set up using Ubuntu 13.04 and while syncing seems to be working on the two Macs I have set it up under I am seeing errors in my Apache logs. I'm wondering if anyone has any comments that might help me. Is this something to be concerned with, or can I safely ignore?

When you set up a new OmniPresence account, it performs some tests to make sure the server behaves as expected—succeeding when it's supposed to, and returning an error when it's supposed to.

The errors from the server which you pasted above were all related to the path OmniFileStore-DAV-Conformance-Tests, so they were all generated during those tests—and since OmniPresence didn't refuse to set up your account they were all expected.

Hope this helps!

Excellent, thanks.

BTW, do you have any plans to expand OmniPresence beyond what it currently does? ie. a standalone iOS app? I love the product. Having the option of basically DropBox running on my own server is fantastic. The ability to access uploaded files (other than omnigroup files) easily from iOS would be perfect.

I'd love a standalone app on iOS too. We'd might do this at some point, but we have several other projects to finish (http://www.omnigroup.com/blog/entry/omni-plans-for-2013).

(If any other developers are interested, they could do this pretty easily based on our published open source code (https://github.com/omnigroup/OmniGroup). Our TextEditor sample app could make a good starting point: if memory serves, it already supports OmniPresence and sending/receiving documents to/from other apps.)
