Recipe for getting Nokia 6820 data sync with
Funambol server
on Linux.
I initially tried downloading the ds-server and Tomcat 5.0 separately; it may well have worked
if I had got the settings right, but as it didn't I got the whole shebang (which includes
a Java JRE and Tomcat)
Connection settings (Rogers), as for Internet:
Proxies: disable
Bearer: GPRS
GPRS acess: internet.com
Authentication: normal
Login type: automatic
User: wapuser1
Password: (none)
Try to synchronize. With any luck, it should work. If not, Tomcat logs
in ds-server/logs/funambol_ds.log. In the management GUI (funamboladmin), the
logging level may be increased to ALL. Synchronization of my calendar failed
until I checked the verbose log and found that Funambol did not understand
the Nokia ToDo calendar entries, and would reject the entire calendar.
The security settings are by default set to nothing, or to default settings.
Good idea to change them, otherwise people will be able to configure Tomcat.
Also, Tomcat will run as root. It can be configured to run as a nonpriv user,
which is generally a good idea. This may involve changing some directory permissions
as well as the start script. It's documented at apache.org.
