Setting up your PocketPC

|
|
------------------------

|

|
|
This is simply a case of adding an 'exchange server' to your activesync
|
| 9 |
|
|
server list, specifying the IP address of the Z-Push apache server,
|
| 10 |
|
|
disabling SSL, unless you have already setup SSL on your Apache server,
|
| 11 |
|
|
setting the correct username & password (the domain is ignored, you can
|
| 12 |
|
|
simply specify 'domain' or some other random string), and then going
|
| 13 |
|
|
through the standard activesync settings.
|
| 14 |
|
|
|
| 15 |
|
|
Once you have done this, you should be able to synchronise your PocketPC
|
| 16 |
|
|
simply by clicking the 'Sync' button in ActiveSync on your PocketPC.

Troubleshooting
|
| 20 |
|
|
---------------
|
| 21 |
|
|
|
| 22 |
|
|
Most problems will be caused by incorrect Apache settings. To test whether
|
| 23 |
|
|
your Apache setup is working correctly, you can simply type the Z-Push URL
|
| 24 |
|
|
in your browser, to see if apache is correctly redirecting your request to
|
| 25 |
|
|
z-push. You can simply use:
|
| 26 |
|
|
|
| 27 |
|
|
http://<serverip>/Microsoft-Server-ActiveSync
|
| 28 |
|
|
|
| 29 |
|
|
If correctly configured, you should see a username/password request, and
|
| 30 |
|
|
when you specify a valid username & password, you should see a string like
|
| 31 |
|
|
|
| 32 |
|
|
"Your device requested the Z-Push URL without the required GET parameters"
|
| 33 |
|
|
|
| 34 |
|
|
If not, then check your PHP and Apache settings.
|
| 35 |
|
|
|
| 36 |
|
|
If you have other synchronisation problems, you can create the file
|
| 37 |
|
|
'debug.txt' in the root directory of z-push, which should also be either
|
| 38 |
|
|
world-writable or writeable to the apache webserver user:
|
| 39 |
|
|
|
| 40 |
|
|
touch /var/lib/z-push/debug.txt
|
| 41 |
|
|
chmod 777 /var/lib/z-push/debug.txt
|
| 42 |
|
|
|
| 43 |
|
|
or
|
| 44 |
|
|
|
| 45 |
|
|
touch /var/lib/z-push/debug.txt
|
| 46 |
|
|
chown apache:apache /var/lib/z-push/debug.txt
|
| 47 |
|
|
|
| 48 |
|
|
The debug.txt file will then collect debug information from your
|
| 49 |
|
|
synchronisation.
