I just created a Web Disk, and it indeed shows <username>@<domain>. By default, it created the directory inside public_html, then proceeds to give a warning about privacy (plus some instructions as to how to secure such a folder). I then noticed that there was a pre-existing web disk to my root, using the login name I use for cPanel. This username does not have @domain at the end. I was able to mount that volume after running the script the process supplies. Would this latter type of setup work (for synching OS X OF & iPhone OF when they're in the same proximity), assuming the volume is manually mounted on the Finder?

If a person uses only one Mac and one iPhone for OF use, is there any purpose in the frequent synchronizing OF on the iPhone to a WebDAV server (throughout the period one is using OF on his iPhone) other than being able to then sync to the computer when eventually back at one's Mac? I'm just trying to understand, and then keep synchronizing to a minimum.

Thanks, Bob

SUCCESS!!

Here are the steps in case anyone else has problems with a2hosting webdav and OF -

1. I put the following into OF as my webdav location: http://MYDOMAIN.com:2077

2. I was then connected to a log in dialog where I used USERNAME@MYDOMAIN.COM and entered password (make sure you set a password in your cpanel on a2hosting)

3. Sweet sweet syncing goodness. Now I am off to make the requisite purchases.

Thanks everyone.

Are you actually syncing with a second device or just not getting errors anymore?

Mine looks like I'm connected and syncing fine, but when I look at what's happening on the WebDAV server, I have lots of "in-progress" files being created.

Hopefully yours is working better than mine.

Also, the :2077 is appropriate for http, the secure port for https is probably :2078.

Peace.

Damn - I think you are right. I also have "in-progress" errors on my webdisk and my recently purchased OF for Iphone app only gives me the following error:

"Cannot copy. Unable to get list of source files from: 'file://localhost/var/mobile/applications/........../documents/omnifocus.ofocus/'. "

That's too bad. I sent a message to the support ninjas at omnifocus-iphone@omnigroup.com

My incident ID is [OG #307083].

Hopefully, I'll hear something back soon. I guess it wouldn't hurt for you to drop a line also so they can see it's more widespread than just one user...

If I get it working, I'll let you know, please do likewise.

Peace.

Micro progress -

I used finder to mount the webdav - deleted all the empty "in progress" folders and copied over the omnifocus.ofocus document from ~/library/application support/omnifocus

upon sync of iphone, it did pull down the data from webdav - but creating a new item in the inbox of the desktop then syncing both will not make a new item in the inbox of the iphone and vice versa..

Perhaps the desktop is not truly syncing to the version on the webdav server?

[MrAleGuy]

Sounds like you and I are at the same spot. I even tried to rename the "in progress" files to see if the sync didn't finalize correctly but no luck.

Essentially, I have two systems syncing to the same WebDAV folder. Either of them can make an update and be told to manually sync to server. This causes an "in progress" file to get created, but any new actions don't become available on the other system regardless of what I try.

[jlowen]

I have also submitted an email to the support ninjas. My number is [OG #307156]

I will keep in touch with you If I hear anything, Please do the same.

After we get this resolved we can meet up in 40 years as veterans and remember the battle of OF webdav sync

Which WebDAV service are you using? BingoDisk and Mobile Me seem to be the most cooperative.

You might also look at this post for setting WebDAV up on your own computer if you only need to sync while on the same local network.

Hi Liz,

I've got WebDAV setup on my own domain, which is hosted at asmallorange.com (ASO). I already pay for this domain/hosting so I really want to get it working there. I've owned OF for a while but had fallen out of using it since it was such a pain trying to keep projects updated and tasks checked off when I was using my mandated WinXP system at work. Now that OF iPhone is here (woohoo!) I can see this drastically helping my productivity at work.

I already have shared iCal calendars published via WebDAV on this host, so I'm pretty confident I've got that end setup OK... well, at least as OK as I can using cPanel.

I have two systems connecting to this WebDAV, each can make changes and be told to "sync to server" causing a new "client-write-in-progress" file to get created. These never change into any sort of "final state" which tells me that for some reason OF is not able to properly transmit the temp file, then rename upon successfully completing the transfer.

Whether it's ASO disallowing some aspect of file manipulation or OF failing in some way, I don't know.

I have sent email to the ninjas ([OG #307083]) and am willing to try things, look at logs, and report what happened to help narrow the problem.

Another user (jlowen) and I have been discussing this issue in another thread. http://forums.omnigroup.com/showthre...?t=8493&page=2
