Connector not working with Evolution 2.24 and Ubuntu 8.10 Intrepid Ibex

[tcpipfddi]

I am running zimbra on a ubuntu 8.04 lts server

zmcontrol -v: Release 5.0.11_GA_2695.UBUNTU8 UBUNTU8 FOSS edition

On my Laptop I am running Evolution 2.24.2 on Ubuntu 8.10.

I have downloaded the 0.1.1 versionof the evolution connector from sourceforge. I changed the path as decribed in

Cannot get plugin to work

and the plugin shows up in Evolution and I can configure it, however, neither the calendar nor the contacts work.

Contacts don't work at all. I do not see an error message or anything. It simply does not sync with my zimbra account.

The Calender returns the following error messages:

Error at »zimbra://username@myzimbraserver:80/10«:
Unable to go online

and then

Error at »zimbra://username@myzimbraserver:80/10«:
Authentication failed

Unlike suggested in this post:

Authentication failed on Calendar and Contacts

I disabled all encryption to make sure that the problem still exists.

I also downloaded the latest svn snapshot of the Evolution Connector, however, inside the trunk folder there was no bootstrap.sh file, so I was unable to install that.

So does anyone have any ideas where the problem might be with the 0.1.1 connector not working and how to compile the latest svn snapshot? Thanks in advance for your answers.

I am having the same problem. The symptoms are exactly the same.

Is there any way the debugging can be turned on, so that we can try to work out what is going on ?

According to the SVN change log the last commit was about four months ago where it talks about Evolution 2.23 so it may be a issue with newer releases. And it looks like somebody has already raised a ticket about it :-
