Problem with uploading new/changed contacts to egroupware

---

Hi,

DAVdroid do not want to upload new or changed contact to egroupware. Download worked fine until I added a new contact in my phone. But now it stopped working correctly. By using cardDAV by em Client on my PC upload with same credentials work without any problems.

Best regards

Hello,

I don’t see any problem in the DAVdroid request. The server responds with 403 Forbidden, so I would not say that DAVdroid doesn’t want to upload, but that the server doesn’t want to accept.

Please ask your server support.

BTW, did you try entering a name?

Thanks for your reply. This was my first idea when I saw the log. But then I tried the same action with another cardDAV application and it worked…

Best regards
Holger

Did you try entering a name for the contact? It seems it has an empty name, which may confuse eGroupware.

Other CardDAV applications may create other VCards, which may or may not work. I can’t tell how other applications work. If you want me to compare why the one works and the other doesn’t, please provide the specific requests and VCards so that I can have a look.

Ah - you are right - that was the problem!

Thanks a lot

Best regards
Holger
