[sync] Square WUN

Fri Apr 20 19:09:17 UTC 2007

Well, I hacked away all day yesterday getting the 4-19 snapshot up and running 
(nice work going on with Horde et al. -- really nice improvements).  It 
wasn't hard to see that turba has been upgraded with Firstname/Lastname 
fields, which will allow better syncing with Palm.  I'm beginning to get the 
picture as I look through dist as to how deeply integrated the syncML code 
is.

HOWEVER

now I'm at square WUN.  No syncing happening for me at all (at the Palm end).  
Synthesis syncml client states that it is processing, and then freezes, 
forcing me to soft reset the Palm.  I did get an 
error code back 2 times (out of 100).  

error 10400

But that would be Synthesis coding.

The sync log shows:

I did run "create_default_histories.php," and I have run every relevant mysql 
tables-create script I can find.

I have been modifying the scripts to use db "horde3," not the default "horde."

Is there a direction any of you can point me?

TIA,

Eric
