  Configuration Editor

The Configuration Editor provides a simple graphical user interface with tabbed dialogs to helps you to manage GCALDaemon's configuration file. It simplyfies editing this file (gcal-daemon.cfg) significantly. By using a tool you also avoid typing errors and it is very easy for example to encode a password or switch a service on or off.

  Sync Google Calendar and Apple iCal

1) Install GCALDaemon (Java 1.5 required).

2) Start Config Editor.

cd /usr/local/sbin/GCALDaemon/bin
./config-editor.sh

Select the second tab and disable the HTTP-based synchronizer. Select the third tab and enable the file-based synchronizer, then click on the 'Google Accounts' button.

3) If required, you can register a new Google Account: Click on 'New Account', type in your Gmail address and password (twice), then click on 'Verify' button.

4) After the verification, click on the 'OK' button.

5) Click on the 'New' button.

6) Select/browse the appropriate Google Calendar and iCalendar file, then click 'OK'. Save the changes (File/Save).

13) Start GCALDaemon ('standalone-start.sh' or 'sync-now.sh'). [more info]

cd /usr/local/sbin/GCALDaemon/bin
./standalone-start.sh
